Beer Bastingmarinade Recipes

JUICY & FLAVORFUL BEER MARINATED STEAK

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.

BEER BASTED CHICKEN QUARTERS

Steps:

• Place the chicken quarters in a large plastic or glass container, pour 2 beers over the chicken letting it marinate in your refrigerator about 1 hour.
• While your chicken is marinating, pour 2 beers and your chopped onion into a saucepan and bring your mixture to a boil for about 5 minutes.
• Use caution to avoid boil-overs.
• After 5 minutes of boiling, adjust the heat to Low and add 1 teaspoon of Emeril's Essence, 2 teaspoons on McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning, and ½ stick of butter.
• Allow your beer basting mix to simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Place your chicken on a rack in a large oven pan, then pour the beer from the marinade over the chicken so it drains to the bottom of the pan.
• Season both sides of your chicken quarters with McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning.
• Gently spoon about half of your beer basting mix over your chicken pieces.
• Insert your roasting pan with your chicken on the middle rack of your oven.
• After 25 minutes cooking time, carefully slide your oven rack out and spoon the remainder of your basting mix over your chicken pieces.
• Slide the rack back into the oven and cook about 25 minutes more until your chicken is brown and crispy.
• Remove your chicken from the oven, place the pieces on a serving dish, sprinkle with your chopped Spring onions.
• Serve with corn on the cob and baked potatoes.
• You did a great job, so open that 5th beer and enjoy it with your chicken as your guests compliment your culinary talent.
