Fragrant coffee and spices infuse the steak with a unique smoky, spicy flavor. Use half the steak for dinner tonight, and save the other half to make Beef Fajitas later in the week.

Your side dish will pick up flavor from the pan, and you'll only have one pan to wash! Find this recipe and weekly meal plans in our book, The 12-Week Diabetes Cookbook by Linda Gassenheimer.
