Categories     Cooking with Beer

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs steak*
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp mild vinegar (Sherry or rice, optional)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 shallot
2 cloves garlic
5-6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Kosher salt
red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
6 oz beer (use Munich helles, Czech pils, German pilsner, American craft lager or Vienna lager)

Steps:

  • Prepare a non-reactive container or freezer bag appropriately sized for the steak(s). Thinly slice shallot, mince or roughly chop the garlic. Pick the thyme leaves (optional).
  • Add all marinade ingredients to container (beer should be last) and whisk until well combined. Add steak and make sure it is well covered with marinade.
  • Marinate for 3 to 24 hours, covered and refrigerated. Occasionally move the steak around to ensure all of its surfaces are adequately accessed by the marinade. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
  • Heat grill (or pan/griddle) to medium-high to high heat. Scrape marinade off the steak surface and discard. Pat dry steak and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or sear for about 3-5 minutes per side, flipping once until your desired doneness is reached. (See steak temperatures below).
  • Remove from the grill and rest the steak before slicing/serving. You may lightly cover it with foil while resting.

Provided by Kim D.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 30m

Yield 2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can beer
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/8 cup Tabasco sauce
1 onion, chopped (I use 1015, if available)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
6 -8 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a shallow glass baking dish, large enough to hold meat in one layer.
  • Cover and refrigerate.
  • Marinade meat for at least 30 minutes, The longer you let it sit, the better!
  • Recipe can be doubled for large quantities of meat.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful beer for the marinade, such as a stout, porter, or amber ale. Avoid using light beers, as they will not impart as much flavor.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours. The longer you marinate the beef, the more flavorful it will be.
  • If you are short on time, you can marinate the beef for as little as 30 minutes. However, the beef will not be as flavorful as if it had been marinated for longer.
  • When you are ready to cook the beef, remove it from the marinade and pat it dry. This will help the beef to brown evenly.
  • Cook the beef over medium-high heat until it is cooked to your desired doneness. Be sure to not overcook the beef, or it will become tough.
  • Let the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the beef, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Beer marinade is a great way to add flavor and tenderness to beef. It is easy to make and can be used with a variety of different beef cuts. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or braising the beef, a beer marinade will help you create a delicious and memorable meal.
