Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
• 1 tablespoon meat tenderizer
• 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
• 2 pounds rib-eye steak, 1/4 inch thick
• 1.25 cups fresh lime juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine garlic powder, onion powder, meat tenderizer, and seasoning salt in a small bowl; rub into both sides of steaks.

Step 2

Arrange 1/4 sliced onions in bottom of a 9x13-inch pan; lay steaks across onions. Top with more onions; pour 1/4 bottle beer and 1/4 cup lime juice over top. Repeat layers until all steaks layered. Pour any remaining beer and lime juice over top. Cover pan. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes. Do not marinate steaks longer than 1 hour, because the acid from the lime juice will begin to cook the meat.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from marinade; discard remaining marinade.

Step 4

Cook on the preheated grill to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for well done. Rest before slicing, 5 minutes. Serve with warm tortillas.
