Beer and Brown Sugar Steak Marinade

I concocted this marinade on a lark and it turned out great. The flavors complement and do not overwhelm the natural taste of beef.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
• 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup dark beer
• 2 (16 ounce) beef sirloin steaks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat grill for high heat.

Step 2

Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the steaks, and place steaks in a large baking dish. In a bowl, mix together beer, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar. Pour sauce over steaks, and let sit about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 the seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder; set aside for 10 minutes. Turn steaks over, sprinkle with remaining seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and continue marinating for 10 more minutes.

Step 3

Remove steaks from marinade. Pour marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook for several minutes.

Step 4

Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill steaks for 7 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. During the last few minutes of grilling, baste steaks with boiled marinade to enhance the flavor and ensure juiciness.
