Coffee and Cola Skirt Steak

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Steak

Ingredients

  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 12 oz. can cola
  • 1/2 cup freshly brewed strong coffee
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. ketchup
  • 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp crushed dried rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb. skirt, flank, or flat-iron steak, trimmed
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Whisk together garlic, cola, coffee, rice vinegar, ketchup, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and hot sauce in a bowl until well combined.

  2. Cut steak along the grain into four 6-inch-long pieces; transfer to a Ziploc bag. Pour in marinade and seal bag, squeezing out excess air. Chill at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours.

  3. Preheat a broiler or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.

  4. Remove steak from bag, reserving marinade. Pat dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides with cayenne.

  5. Pour marinade into a saucepan over medium heat; simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.

  6. Broil steak 3-4 inches from heat, or grill on rack, turning once, until steak is still pink inside and cooked as liked, about 4 minutes per side. Thin pieces may take 2 minutes per side.

  7. Transfer steak to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain. Drizzle with marinade.
