My new favorite shit.

Marinating steak/chicken with coffee, then dumping that marinade into my saucepan and reducing that shit with a spot of butter.


We saw it on Top Chef Masters, and we knew we had to try it. Having tried it, we can't fucking stop eating [with] it.

this is the basic recipe we rock:

3 tblspns of coffee (if your not a snob, instant does nicely. Conversely, if you're a slob, dump that cup of 3 day old yeah on in and carry on)
1 tblspn of balsamic
1 tblspn of x-tra virgin
1 tablspn of brown sugar (we do less, I don't like sweet with my mains so much)
2 cloves minced garrrrrrrrrrrlic (or go crazy, cuz I know vampires are pop these days)
1 Tspn black pepper
1/2 Tspn of salt (sea/kosher/blood/what ev)
a pinch of cayenne pepper adds a hint of edge that people never see coming, and makes them think your shit be all multidimensional.

Tonight = [this sauce + chicken + red and yellow bell pepper + onion + brussels sprouts / (skewers x george foreman grill) x N] / a bowl of sticky rice + sesame seeds

I know I just busted some mad culinary algebra on ya, but I'm keen to masticate this magic when I'm done not teaching kids English tonight, and something [idiotic] came over me.

Yeah.
