How to Make Uncle Bill's Soy Ginger Marinade

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and sesame oil.
  2. Add the beer (or dry red wine) and gently whisk until combined. Avoid over-whisking to prevent excessive foaming.
  3. Prepare your steaks (approximately 1-inch thick). Use a sharp knife to score any fatty areas on the outside of the steaks. This helps prevent curling during cooking.
  4. Place the steaks in a large, shallow casserole dish.
  5. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  6. Using a fork, gently pierce the steaks several times on both sides to help the marinade penetrate deeply.
  7. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or up to 24 hours for chuck steaks).
  8. Preheat your grill or prepare your frying pan.
  9. Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  10. Grill or fry the steaks to your desired level of doneness.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
