Beer Marinated Flank Steak 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.

MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk marinade ingredients together in a freezer size ziploc bag. Reserve 2 tablespoons to use later. Add steak, press out excess air and seal. Massage marinade into the steak with your hands through the outside of the bag.
• Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
• Preheat outdoor grill (or indoor grill pan) to medium-high heat, (450 degrees F when lid is closed).
• Grill steak for 5-6 minutes per side, or until an internal thermometer reads 130-135 degrees F for medium rare or around 140 degrees for medium. Grill time will vary depending on thickness of your steak and desired level of doneness.
• Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice steak into thin strips against the grain (perpendicular to the long strands) or ½-inch cubes. Drizzle with the 2 tablespoons reserved marinade.

BEER-MARINATED GRILLED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• In a wide, shallow glass baking dish, scatter half of the orange slices, half of the onion slices and half of the garlic pieces on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the steak all over with salt and pepper and put in the dish on top of the orange and onion slices. Scatter the remaining orange, onion and garlic over the steak and pour in the beer and soy sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Prepare a barbeque on medium-high heat or preheat a broiler. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve as desired.

BEER-MARINATED FLANK STEAK WITH AJI AND GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Using sharp knife, lightly score flank steaks about 1/8 inch deep on both sides in a crisscross pattern at 1/2-inch intervals. Place steaks in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle steaks on both sides with oregano and cumin and generous amount of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of steaks, rubbing oil and spices into meat. Add green onions, beer, and Worcestershire sauce, turning steaks several times to coat both sides. Cover and chill at least 3 hours, turning occasionally. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill rack lightly with oil. Grill steaks to desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes total per side for medium-rare, turning steaks 1/4 turn after 1 1/2 minutes to form crisscross grill marks, if desired. Transfer steaks to cutting board; let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice steaks across grain. Transfer to platter and serve with Aji Sauce and Colombian Guacamole.

BEER AND CHILI MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Cut dried chilies and remove stems. Submerge them in a bowl of hot water, covered, for 15-20 minutes.
• Remove chilies and add them to a food processor with the remaining marinade ingredients. Puree the mixture. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if it is too thick.
• Cut the flank steak in half down the center and place both halves into a resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over the top, and work it around the meat for even coating. Seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator for 6-2 hours.
• Prepare the grill for an indirect cook with coals banked to one side, creating a hot zone.
• Remove steak from marinade, and place it onto the grill's cool zone (no coals). Brush the remaining marinade on the steak. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes; turn the steak over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Cook time is entirely based on your desired doneness. We recommend medium doneness for this recipe (140 degrees F.).
• Transfer steak to the hot zone (direct heat) to finish off, about 1-2 minutes per side. This will sear the steak and provide a nice flavorful crust. Keep a close eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
• Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and place it on a clean cutting board. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before carving. Enjoy!
