Wow, a thumbs up from the wienner! Thats better than any Wine Spectator Award to me.

Have the steaks marinating now.

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup dry sherry - I used some of the Barbara left from last night
2/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
6 garlic cloves, roasted
2 shallots, roasted
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
4 New York strip steaks, 3/4 pound each

Combine all ingredients in a non-aluminum mixing bowl. Pour into a zip-lock bag. Add the steaks and marinate for 4 to 5 hours in the refrigerator.
