If you are tired of the same old soy, garlic and ginger steak marinade, it’s time you took it up a notch and replaced it with this mind-blowing-ly amazing coffee marinade!
Coffee and beef belong together – seriously- it’s a fact. Add in balsamic, brown sguar and garlic and you have Heaven in a marinade. I haven’t tasted something so good in a very long time.
Looking for a side dish to go with your steak? Why not try Sweet Potato Fries and a Tomato Salad. I love when dinner is this easy and beautiful!
If you buy your meat in bulk, try making a few batches of marinade and freeze the steak in it. Then, when your ready to serve, simply defrost it in the fridge and it will be ready to grill when you get home.
