Ingredients for Beer Brown Sugar Steak Marinade

  • Beef Sirloin Steaks
  • Dark Beer
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • Seasoning Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)

How to Make Beer Brown Sugar Steak Marinade

  1. Using a fork, pierce holes across the surface of the steaks. Place the steaks in a large baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beer, 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar.
  3. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 15-30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
  4. Sprinkle half of the seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder mixture evenly over the steaks.
  5. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  7. Flip the steaks, sprinkle with the remaining seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  8. Marinate for another 10 minutes.
  9. Remove steaks from the marinade and set aside.
  10. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  11. Grill steaks for 7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to achieve your desired doneness. During the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, baste the steaks with the reduced marinade for extra flavor and juiciness.
  12. Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

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!
