How to Make Barbecue Beer Marinade

  1. In a large resealable zip-top bag, whisk together 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce, 12 ounces of beer (any kind you enjoy!), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  2. Add 2-3 pounds of your desired meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc.) to the bag. Ensure the meat is fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Seal the bag tightly, pressing out excess air. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for even more intense flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the meat to your desired doneness, ensuring you get nice grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to check for internal temperature: 165°F for chicken, 145°F for pork, and 160°F for beef.
  6. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
