Ingredients for Barbecue Beer Marinade
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite kind)
- 12 ounces beer (any kind you enjoy!)
How to Make Barbecue Beer Marinade
- 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.
- Add 2-3 pounds of your desired meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc.) to the bag. Ensure the meat is fully coated in the marinade.
- Seal the bag tightly, pressing out excess air. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for even more intense flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- 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.
- Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
