I absolutely LOVED this marinade. I reserved our morning's coffee, a little warily, but open-minded. Let the flank steak brew overnight and the flavor was completely fantastic. I will make this again and again!

Not exceptional in any way. Almost any marinade would have had more flavor.

We absolutely loved this! The beef and coffee combination is wonderful together. Even my picky kids liked it!
