Beer-Marinated Steak

Featured in my "What's Cookin'" column for Peoria Magazine, May 2023.

Beef is everything in Argentina and I’ve witnessed firsthand that they consume the most beef per capita of any country. Their beef is really special, as the cows are grass fed. You can taste the difference.

Since we are in Peoria and not Argentina, I am sharing a favorite steak recipe that is a bit more Americanized. Yes, there’s beer in this delicious marinade. Coupled with smoked paprika, a little brown sugar and some Worcestershire sauce, this marinade works great with a sirloin, flank or flat iron steak. And, of course, I serve it with my delicious chimichurri!

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together the beer, Worcestershire, brown sugar, garlic and paprika. Place steak in a baking dish, apply marinade and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to cook, remove steak from the marinade. Let steak sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season the steak with coarse salt and pepper. Place olive oil and butter in a heavy, ovenproof skillet, cast iron recommended. 
  • Heat skillet on medium high. When hot, add steak. Sear for two minutes. Flip steak. Sear one more minute. Place skillet in the preheated oven. Roast 7 to 10 minutes depending on steak thickness. Use a meat thermometer to test. For medium rare, roast to internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees, for medium to 135 to 140 degrees, and for medium well to 145 to 150 degrees.
  • Remove pan. Rest steak for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with the chimichurri sauce.
