Coffee Peppercorn Steak

(Adapted from Eating Well)

3 Tbsp strong coffee
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp whole black (or mixed) peppercorns, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1 to 1.5 lbs steak (* see note)

Mix together, pour over meat & marinate for a few hours, or overnight. Grill steak to your desired doneness.

* Note: Use your favourite cut of beef! The original recipe calls for 1 lb of flank steak, but we have used this on a pound and a half of striploin with delicious results.
