Ingredients: 2 rib-eye or sirloin steaks (2cm thick); ½ tbsp Essential Olive Oil

You may have heard of tea-smoked chicken or ham cooked in cola, but we love coffee-marinated meat. The coffee imparts a deeply savoury, earthy flavour that complements beef (or pork) beautifully. Sounds eccentric, but tastes incredible. Try this marinade for your next barbecue.

2 rib-eye or sirloin steaks (2cm thick)
½ tbsp Essential Olive Oil

For the coffee marinade

1 tbsp soy sauce
100ml espresso, cooled
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 clove/s garlic, crushed
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp light soft brown sugar

Mix the marinade ingredients in a large resealable freezer bag. Add the steaks; leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
When you’re ready to cook the steaks, put a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry well on kitchen paper. Brush lightly with oil, season well and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or until cooked to your liking). Rest for 5 minutes under a loose sheet of foil, before slicing to serve.
