Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 8 oz each) Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut)
- 1 cup Brewed coffee (strong, cooled)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the brewed coffee, brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steaks and let them marinate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Discard the marinade.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the pan is hot, sear the steaks for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended). Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover them loosely with foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the Coffee Marinated Steaks with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
