Those were the snarky comments from my sometimes sous cook, Babe. She is 8 and recently, effectively learned sarcasm....yeah she thinks she is hilarious. Alas I had the last laugh when she couldn't get enough of this tender tasty goodness.
You know how you read an ingredient list and they seem like they may go together but youre just not sure until you begin putting it all together? This is that kind of recipe. Coffee and balsamic vinegar? Nope! But when you add the brown sugar and garlic and salt and pepper, the smell alone will entice you to continue!

This looks easy enough for me to try. Unfortunately my boo doesn't eat beef, so he'll have to miss out. I'll let you know when (if) I try it.
I have a Slab of ribs marinating as we speak and will let you know the outcome.
Meanwhile, I'm contemplating if this will work on brisket....
