2 (8 ounce) boneless rib-eye steaks

BEER AND BROWN SUGAR STEAK MARINADE

Beer and Brown Sugar Steak Marinade image

I concocted this marinade on a lark and it turned out great. The flavors complement and do not overwhelm the natural taste of beef.

Provided by Craig Jones

Categories Meat and Poultry Recipes Beef Steaks Sirloin Steak Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 (16 ounce) beef sirloin steaks
¼ cup dark beer
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

Preheat grill for high heat.
Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the steaks, and place steaks in a large baking dish. In a bowl, mix together beer, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar. Pour sauce over steaks, and let sit about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 the seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder; set aside for 10 minutes. Turn steaks over, sprinkle with remaining seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and continue marinating for 10 more minutes.
Remove steaks from marinade. Pour marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook for several minutes.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill steaks for 7 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. During the last few minutes of grilling, baste steaks with boiled marinade to enhance the flavor and ensure juiciness.

Tips:

Use a flavorful cut of steak, such as rib eye, strip loin, or tenderloin.
Make sure the steak is at least 1 inch thick so that it can properly absorb the marinade.
Use a non-reactive bowl or container to marinate the steak. Avoid using metal bowls, as they can react with the marinade and alter the flavor of the steak.
Cover the steak completely with the marinade. You can use a resealable plastic bag or a covered dish.
Marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight. The longer the steak marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
When you are ready to cook the steak, remove it from the marinade and pat it dry. Discard the marinade.
Cook the steak over high heat until it reaches your desired doneness.
