How to Make Beer Brown Sugar Steak Marinade
- Using a fork, pierce holes across the surface of the steaks. Place the steaks in a large baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beer, 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar.
- 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.
- Sprinkle half of the seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder mixture evenly over the steaks.
- Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Flip the steaks, sprinkle with the remaining seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Marinate for another 10 minutes.
- Remove steaks from the marinade and set aside.
- Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- 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.
- 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!
