- 2 Tbs brewed strong coffee
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp olive oil

Next up, your taters... obviously this comes either 8 hours later or the next day

- Bake for 1 hour, turning potatoes every 15 minutes
When the potatoes are about 45 minutes in, start the steak
Directions - Steak
- Preheat a drizzle of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high and turn on your hood fan... it's going to get smokey in here
- Gently place your steaks on the skillet and sear each side for about 4 minutes each
- Place the skillet (with the steaks) in the oven and cook to your desired doneness, about 5-15 minutes
- While your steaks are cooking, saute green beans (see below)
- Remove the steaks from the skillet immediately and place on your plates.
Now for the greens
Ingredients - Green Beans
- 2 cups green beans
- cooking spray
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Directions
- Spray a saute pan with cooking spray and roast your garlic over medium heat
