-
In a small bowl, stir together the coffee, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and salt. Set aside. -
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook 2 steaks for 1 minute. Turn over. Cook for 30 seconds, or until barely pink in the center. Transfer to a platter. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and remaining steaks. -
Stir the coffee mixture into the pan drippings, scraping to dislodge any browned bits. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 3 minutes, or until the mixture is reduced to 2 tablespoons, stirring frequently. Pour over the beef. Sprinkle with the green onions.
Tip: Cooking the steaks in two batches ensures that they have more room and thus will brown, not stew.
