How to Make Outback Steakhouse Marinade

  1. Place 1.5 lbs of your favorite steak cut (e.g., ribeye, sirloin) in a shallow dish.
  2. Pour 1/2 cup of ale over the steak, ensuring it's coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  4. Remove the steak from the ale and pat it dry with paper towels.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Rub the dry ingredient mixture evenly over both sides of the steak.
  7. Let the steak marinate with the dry ingredients for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter to the hot surface.
  9. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired internal temperature.
  10. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
