Spice Rub:
2 tablespoons instant coffee
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coriander

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped

Preparation

1 Done	Make spice rub by blending coffee and all spices together. You will need 2-4 tablespoons of rub for 1.3 lb of steak. Keep any extra spice rub (must not have touched the meat) in a jar with a lid for up to 3 months.
2 Done	Remove flank steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before grilling to allow it to reach room temperature. This will allow for a more accurate cooking doneness. Apply the spice rub.
3 Done	Toss vegetables with the olive oil, rosemary and pepper on a large piece of aluminum foil. Seal the vegetables in the foil by making a pouch.
4 Done	Using the BBQ: Preheat barbecue to medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables in the pouch for 15-20 minutes. Flank steak is a lean cut of meat and is best served medium rare. Mechanically tenderized meat, such as flank steak, must be cooked until an internal temperature of 160° F is reached. Grill steak for approximately 4 minutes per side. Using the Stove: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grill the vegetables in the pouch for 15-20 minutes. You can also grill the vegetables uncovered on a baking sheet. For the steak, heat grill pan to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Fry approximately 4 minutes per side.
5 Done	When the steak is ready, allow the meat to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. By resting the meat, you ensure that the juices don't run out of the steak when sliced. Slice steak against the grain and serve with the vegetables.
