Father’s Day is right around the corner, so it’s a perfect time to think about throwing some high-quality, locally sourced meat on the grill.  Our beer-marinated flank steak recipe is simple to make and can be served with your choice of grilled fajita vegetables or even baked potatoes.  Order your flank steak ahead of time from The Butcher Shop, and you’ll be ready for a fun Father’s Day lunch or dinner in no time.

Note:  You will need to prepare the meat and marinade the day before you plan to grill it.

Beer-Marinated Flank SteakIngredients:

  • About 3 to 4 pounds of TBS flank or skirt steak.  While these are two different cuts of meat, many people use them interchangeably for this recipe.
  • 1/2 cup of pureed pineapple chunks or pre-crushed pineapple.  
  • 2 teaspoons of paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
  • Juice from 2 freshly squeezed limes
  • 2 tablespoons of salt
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • About a half can or bottle of lager-style beer.

How to make beer-marinated flank steak on the grill:

  1. Prepare the meat.  The trick to a perfect grilled flank steak is for the meat to be sliced very thinly before marinading it.  For thicker pieces, butterfly slice the meat so that it is no more than ½ inch thick.  If you pre-order your flank steak, ask your butcher to slice it very thinly for you. Place the sliced meat into a sealable plastic bag.
  2. Make the marinade.  Mix these ingredients in a bowl:  pineapple, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt.
  3. Combine the marinade and the meat.  Pour the marinade onto the meat in the sealable bag.  Add the avocado oil and enough lager-style beer to cover the meat.  Push the air from the bag and seal it.  Massage the contents of the bag to mix the marinade into the meat.  Place the bag in a refrigerator for 24 hours.
  4. Time to grill!  Because it is sliced thin, the meat will grill rather quickly.  Place the meat on a heated grill for about 6 minutes per side.
