balsamic onion mocha flank steak

Ground espresso coffee and cocoa powder are the secret ingredients in this dish. Flank Steak never tasted so good!

Ingredients

  • 1 beef Flank Steak (1-1/2 to 2 pounds)
  • 1 cup light balsamic vinaigrette dressing, divided
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground espresso coffee
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Directions

  1. Combine 1/3 cup vinaigrette, cocoa, coffee and pepper in small bowl. Place beef steak and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. Remove steak from bag; discard marinade. Place steak on rack of broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 13 to 18 minutes for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning once.
  3. Meanwhile, cook onion and remaining 2/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette in medium saucepan over medium heat, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes or until onion is tender. Remove from heat.
  4. Carve steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Top with onion slices.
