Grilled Flank Steak with Coffee and Black Pepper Marinade (page 213)

Flank steak looks so meaty and appealing, and grilling is so satisfying.  This should be a winning combination.  And it is--if you like flank steak.  The marinade is a snap to make and lives up to its hype:  making the steak "richer with a slight sweetness that complements rather than drowns out the flavor of the meat."  Plus, the cooking time is less than 10 minutes.  However, you still have flank steak--extraordinarily flavorful but extraordinarily chewy. 

The bottom line: If you like flank steak, this recipe is for you.  But, why buy flank steak when you can buy fillet mignon at Costco for just a little bit more?
