Reviews
Recipe was simple and very tasty. Steaks were very tender and juicy.
Wonderful. So tender!
Made as is. Fantastic steak. My new go to steak recipe!!
Very good! The hops from the beer made a great flavor
This was good, but not the best steak I ever ate.
I like steaks and I like beer…..never knew how good they tasted used like this. After several tries I would recommend a dark lager and use a vacuum type marinator like FoodSaver.
Decided to pick up some rib-eyes and try this recipe. Delicious! Used Coors Light and it was so tender and flavorful. Hubby said he was leery of the lemon pepper, but he loved it. I also added some garlic powder. I am not a big fan of steak, but definitely will make this again and again!
Honestly this recipe didn’t do anything for me. Maybe it was the lemon pepper I used or the beer (Canadian) but neither shone through at all. If I’d grilled the steak maybe things would have been different. The only other deviation, aside from pan frying, was that I seasoned with both salt and lemon pepper before cooking.
YES WOULD MAKE IT AGAIN
I only used 1 can of beer as i only needed tomarinate/grill 2 steaks!!
I poured the beer in the container first release the carbonation so the seasonings wouldn’t wash off. I prefer medium rare and used a cast iron skillet, it took a little longer per side but still turned out great.
Oh my goodness!!! Absolutely wonderful!
To all the reviewers that complained about the beer washing off the seasoning; did you ever think of not pouring the beer directly on the steaks. Pour it off to the side of the steak and let it envelope the steak.
I’ve used beer, any brand lite or regular doesn’t matter, to marinate beef for years. I especially like to marinate my carne asada flank steak in beer. Instead of paying $6.99 for ‘marinaded carne asada’ meat at the store, do this. Any thinly sliced steak, but flank steak is the best. Put the meat in a plastic-sealed bag, add a can or two of beer, and use only McCormick’s Perfect Pinch MEXICAN SEASONING (not taco seasoning). It doesn’t take much, about 3-4 TBLS. with a can of beer and about 4lbs. meat. Let marinate overnight, and OLE! Add a little chili powder to really spice it up! McCormick’s is hard to find in stores. I ordered mine on-line.
beer + grill=stuck to the grill Don’t go there
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Was OK I have been searching for the perfect steak marinade for a while, I would make this one again but just isnt my favourite. I would also never cook a steak 5 minutes either side thats just cooking away all the flavour 1 minute each side pn full heat and 30-40 seconds each side on low heat
I had 2 steaks in fridge and looked up and all recipes famous marinate.. came cross this and was skeptical.. I didn’t have a lot ofo time and had all on hand.. WOW .. was awesome and a different taste, and that’s what I was looking for. I used a IPA DARK beer called Shipwreck monkey fist. could really taste the beer.. which I like.. after 2 hr of marinade I did add a little sprinkle of steak seasoning and let sit room temp for 5 then grilled them 3/5 mins per side!! absolutely definite keeper! my kids enjoyed it
my hubby liked this recipe.
Used 1 can of Budwiser Light Beer, (it was there and I didn’t want to waste one of my Belgian beers), 2 NY Strip steaks. Marinated in the refrigerator about 5 hours, then grilled on high heat (almost blew up the neighborhood lighting the gas grill! singed the hair on my arm certainly but lived to write this review). The grill registered 450F. I sprinkled garlic powder and McCormick’s Montreal Steak Grill Mates on each side, then grilled 5 minutes each side. Turned out perfectly!! This was my first attempt at cooking/grilling meat.
It was very tasteful, and surprising in a good way. The steak were tender. 8/10
