The bitter undertones of coffee are an ideal complement to the smoky flavors of grilled beef. This marinade is particularly good with bone-in rib-eye and bone-in chuck steaks. From The Great Meat Cookbook by Bruce Aidells and Anne-Marie Ramo.

ingredients

1 cup strong coffee, cooled
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons minced white onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce or 2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
¹⁄₄ cup canola oil

directions

Pour the coffee into a small bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients.
Place the steaks of your choice in a large zipper-lock bag. Pour in the marinade, seal the bag, and turn to ensure the steaks are coated with the marinade. Marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or, better still, refrigerate overnight. (For a 2- to 3-inch-thick bone-in steak, it's best to marinate overnight.) Turn the bag from time to time to redistribute the marinade. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 2 hours and pat dry before grilling.
