Flank Steak With Coffee-Peppercorn Marinade image

Coffee has a remarkable affinity with beef. Here, it is complemented by balsamic vinegar, garlic and crushed peppercorns. I found this at eatingwell.com. Note: Time doesn't include marinating. I marinated my overnight and it worked out well, very tasty!!!
