Grilled Root Beer Beef image

Treating lamb to this root beer marinade has historically been a success, so I've been eager to try it with some skewered beef. I originally used 2 tablespoons honey, which was too sweet, so I've adjusted it in the ingredients list and added vinegar as well. This recipe is easy to adapt, and I'm not just talking about the pre-grill soak, but also the glaze we make with the extra marinade. The flavor is reminiscent of bourbon beef.

Time 4h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon honey
⅓ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle root beer
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
skewers
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix oil, black pepper, cayenne, chipotle, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and root beer together in a bowl.
  • Cut steak lengthwise down the middle and slice across the grain into 1/2-inch pieces. Add beef to the bowl of marinade and mix thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
  • Fold beef pieces in half and thread them onto 4 or 5 skewers.
  • Pour the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until a thick glaze forms, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool until slightly thickened.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill to high. Place skewers on the grate over direct heat. Grill, flipping occasionally, until beef starts to spring back to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush glaze on top. Garnish with sesame seeds.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my beef turned out tough and chewy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This recipe was easy to follow and the beef turned out great! I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was a hit with the whole family.

I found that the beef needed to marinate for longer than the recipe stated. I marinated it for 24 hours and it was much more flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a marinade with less sugar.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover root beer. I always have a bottle or two in the fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I'm not a big fan of root beer, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this recipe. The marinade really mellows out the flavor of the root beer and it pairs perfectly with the beef.
