Say “adios” to flavorless steak. This delicious, tender cut is flavored with lime and cerveza. Inspired by CHEFMAN1965’s “Cerveza-Lime Marinade for Beef Steaks.”
Ready in: 1 hour 25 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 1 steak

• 2 cups minced onion
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/2 cup seeded, minced jalapeno
• 1/4 cup minced garlic
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/2 cup Mexican beer
• 1 flat iron steak (or more)

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 10 mins | Extra time: 1 hour, marinating

1. Combine all ingredients except steak in a large plastic resealable bag. Then add steak and seal bag, turning to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
2. Heat your gas or charcoal grill to high (Here’s how to tell if it’s high: Hold your hand about four inches above the cooking surface. After 2 to 3 seconds, the heat will force you to pull your hand away.)
3. Oil the grill grate, using an oiled rag.
4. Remove steak from marinade and place on the grill. Use these cooking times to cook your steak to medium: 2 to 3 minutes per side for a 1/2-inch thick steak, 4 to 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick steak, 6 to 9 minutes per side for a 1 1/2 to 2-inch thick steak.
5. Take the steak off the grill. Let the meat rest 2 to 3 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb into the steak. Serve.Cook’s Notes

You can use a food processor to chop the vegetables.

Note

Recipe makes about 6 cups of marinade, enough for 12 pounds of steak.
