How to Make Spicy Beer Marinade

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup beer, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Place steak(s) in a resealable plastic bag.
  3. Pour marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, for optimal flavor.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.
  6. Grill steak to desired doneness, approximately 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
  7. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
