Coffee Marinade
"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."

- Yields:
-
2 cups approximately
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.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
