Ingredients
- 2 pounds skirt steak
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup cola
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the brewed coffee, cola, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to dissolve the sugar.
- Place the skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (55-57°C).
- Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This will help keep the juices inside the steak.
- Slice the steak into thin strips and serve hot with your favorite sides.
- Enjoy your delicious Grilled Coffee and Cola Skirt Steak!
