Gluten-Free Coffee Marinated Steaks

It’s nearly March and that means spring is around the corner. With spring approaching, that means grilling season is almost here! There isn’t much that can beat the taste (and scent!) of a juicy, gluten-free, grass-fed steak cooking away! There’s really no need to wait for warm weather—marinating and cooking steak can be equally enjoyed during colder months with the use of a great cast iron pan—you’ll even add more iron to your food that way. I have been obsessed with gluten-free coffee marinated steaks—coffee is the new meat marinade as far as I’m concerned!

For robust, full-flavored steak, your marinade is key! I’ve gotten quite bored of the same old marinades and seasonings time and time again, and I often find them to be too salty or too sweet. As a gluten intolerant celiac, it can also be hard to find a good gluten-free marinade as many contain wheat. To change things up, I started to explore coffee marinades, and I got hooked (no pun intended)! Coffee is strong, rich and full-flavored. It’s comforting and it perks us up. Not surprisingly, it also pairs extremely well with comfort foods like an excellent steak! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water—I can’t get enough of the savory flavor. Keep reading to find out how you can make perfect gluten-free coffee marinated steaks for family and friends! This might become one of your favorite gluten-free recipes!
