Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together coffee, molasses, mustard, olive oil and vinegar.

- Pour marinade into a large re-sealable bag. Add steak, rosemary and thyme sprigs. Seal, remove as much air as possible and turn steak to coat evenly. Place re-sealable bag on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate for four to eight hours. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
- Heat broiler to high and set a rack 15 centimeters from broiler.
- Remove steak off rimmed sheet and line sheet with a roasting rack. Remove steak from marinade bag, shake off any excess and place on prepared rack. Season with salt and pepper.
- Broil until 120°F to 125°F (50°C), about eight to 12 minutes, flipping halfway. Set the steak aside to rest for ten minutes under foil before slicing against the grain and serving.
