Beer and Brown Sugar Marinade

[voegeli51]

I am not one for marinating steaks at all, but this is the best marinade I have ever had. Fantastic!




INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
2 (16 ounce) beef sirloin steaks
1/4 cup dark beer (preferably an English Brown Ale)
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

DIRECTIONS
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.

Does the beer flavor stick around after cooking them? I'll give it a try next time I'm cooking sirloin. Thanks for the recipe.

Yes, good recipe to post. I've used this and it is a good marinade... The only time I detect the beer taste is when using an ale heavy on the bittering hops. This same basic recipe, with a tad bit less brown sugar, is also excellent when reduced, thickened with corn starch, and used as the sauce on beef/broccoli stir fry.

Mmmm... Sounds good! Might have to give this a go tonight. Think some Barleywine would be good instead of the English Brown?

rsmith--- don't know what the original poster would say, but I think you'd be fine with barleywine. I've used it in other marinades and it works... also barleywine is great in beercheese, but that's another recipe

Sounds awesome!!

Beer and wine flavors dont typically stick around when they are used when cooking. The flavors gererally contribute to the dish. I don't think you would ever be able to say "mmm, you marinated this steak in Samuel Smith's Brown Ale". If you used an IIPA, that might be a different story.

This is a fantastic marinade and is very similar to one I threw together on the way to a neighborhood party. I used skirt steak which we cut into bite sized pieces after grilling and served on toothpicks, it was a real hit!
