Ingredients for Beer Soaked Flank Steak

  • 1 cup beer (dark stout or porter recommended)
  • Green Onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
  • Honey
  • Gingerroot
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Tabasco Sauce
  • Flank Steaks

How to Make Beer Soaked Flank Steak

  1. In a large bowl or resealable bag, combine 1 cup of beer (preferably a dark stout or porter), 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  2. Add the 2-pound flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
  4. Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.
  5. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Slice the steak thinly against the grain, on a diagonal, for maximum tenderness.
  7. Serve immediately and 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!
