Ingredients :
-1 cup strong coffee,
preferably brewed from Java beans
-1/2 medium onion, chunked
-1/4 cup Chinese black vinegar (See Note)

-1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
Steak:
-1 (2 to 3 pound) beef "London Broil," flank or top round steak
How to cook :
Combine all ingredients except beef in blender or food processor. Blend or process until onion and garlic are puréed. Lightly score beef steak on both sides in a criss-cross pattern (this helps the marinade permeate more deeply). Marinate steak with coffee mixture at least 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
NB :
Chinese black vinegar has its own unique smoky flavor. Look for it in Asian markets. Or, substitute other vinegar. A 50-50 mix of balsamic and red wine vinegars work well.
