Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cheese, garlic, pepper, salt, soy sauce, coffee, Worcestershire sauce, and oil in a blender.
- Pour the marinade over the steak, rubbing it in with your hands.
- Save any excess marinade and baste the steak while cooking.
- Marinate the steak for several hours or overnight.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider using aged Blue or Roquefort cheese. If you prefer a milder taste, feta can be a good substitute. Make sure to let the steak rest after cooking for optimal juiciness. Additionally, if you're short on time, marinating for just 30 minutes can still impart great flavor, though overnight is ideal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Steak Ghengis Kahn with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp salad for a balanced meal. Pair it with a robust red wine to complement the rich flavors. For an Asian twist, consider serving it alongside Thai Egg Rolls for a delightful contrast in textures and flavors.

Store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steak in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short bursts, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of steak for this recipe?
Absolutely! While cuts like ribeye or sirloin work well due to their flavor, you can also use flank or skirt steak for a more budget-friendly option. Just be mindful of cooking times as thinner cuts will cook faster.
Is it necessary to marinate the steak overnight?
While marinating overnight enhances the flavors, you can marinate for just a few hours if you're short on time. The key is to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat as much as possible for the best taste.
What can I do with the leftover marinade?
You can use the leftover marinade as a basting sauce while grilling or broiling the steak. However, make sure to cook it thoroughly before using it as a dipping sauce to ensure it's safe to eat.
