Good Lifestyle

Coffee and steak might seem like an unlikely partnership, but the flavor ofbeef is actually reinforced by Java's robust notes. This ruby ​​dish rubbed in the cafe would be perfect with grilled vegetables and one side of black beans or pinto, or heat some corn tortillas and transmit them so that everyone can do their little tacos. Anyway, be sure to leave the rest of the beef (even if it actually makes this meal of 10 minutes of 12 or 13 minutes); Cut it too early and all the hot death juices bleed on your cutting board, instead of being reabsorbed by meat. Patience is a virtue, and so is a homemade meal that will save you serious calories compared to the Fast Food version.
