     Rich, smoky, juicy steak. Cooked medium rare, cut across the grain, sprinkled with flaked sea salt and then shovelled into the mouth in a elegant way. Well as elegant as shovelling can be ๐Ÿ˜‰

    This steak will surprise and amaze you. The marinade contains one of my favourite things. Coffee!!!! Yes I know, I am already obsessed by the hot drink and now I am adding it to my food! But the meat doesn't taste of coffee, it tastes, sweet and smokey and tangy. It is impossible to describe this....hopefully the photos will convince you. You really do need to try this!

    Coffee Marinated Skirt Steak. A tender, delicious way to marinade. This recipe will surprise you with the complex smoky, sweet, tangy flavour.

    For this dish I use skirt steak, which is a cut of meat that needs, marinading, quick cooking and cutting across the grain. It is also delicious and relatively cheap! Over here you can buy it in the supermarket and the butchers, but if you can't get it then, hanger steak or flank steak will also work. The key to all of these steaks is a good marinade the quick cook and ensuring it is rare or medium rare. Anything more than that and it ends up very tough.

    I made this today for lunch, Mr 8 demolished it, it was so tender that he could cut it easily and he had no idea that there was coffee in the marinade. Even after I told him, he thought I was fibbing! We ate it stuffed into soft rolls with salad, but you could just as easily serve it with some potatoes and veg.

    In order to tenderise this cut, the meat does need to be in the marinade for a few hours, I would suggest starting it the night before or at the very least in the morning. But it isn't a hard marinade, just chuck a few things into a zip lock bag, whack it in the fridge and forget about it. Then drink a cup of coffee, you deserve it after making dinner in advance ๐Ÿ˜‰

          It was delicious Claire, even with my subs! Although I know it would be better with the maple syrup. Which is why I am making this marinade again today.

            I am so glad you enjoyed it, I hope you enjoy it even more with maple syrup, but good to know that I can sub in golden syrup if I run out of maple ๐Ÿ™‚
