Balsamic - Coffee Rubbed London Broil Steak

Balsamic vinegar and coffee? On a steak? 

Oh, yeah!

I was flipping through a magazine the other day, when I came across a Hawaiian recipe that used a Kona Blend Coffee in a rub for steak. I thought it was weird, but I like weird, so I gave it a try.

Of course, I didn't have Kona coffee in my pantry, just plain old Maxwell House, but I used it anyway. Trust me, when I say, you will be glad I did. It is delicious! You don't even taste the coffee, but it must help tenderize the steak because ours was like butter.

Try this recipe as soon as you can, you won't regret it.
