directions

  • In a mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients except beer; stir well.
  • Now add beer and stir gently so the marinade does not foam too much.
  • Prepare steaks,using a knife by scoring any fatty outside areas on steaks.
  • This prevents the steaks from curling.
  • Place steaks in a casserole dish.
  • Pour marinade over and using a fork, punch holes in the steaks so the marinade penetrates the steaks; punch both sides.
  • Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
  • You may marinate for a longer period if desired.
  • This marinade is also excellent for roasts.
  • Barbecue or fry steaks to your desired doneness.
  • You can also substitute and use a dry red wine instead of beer.
  • Steaks should be about 1 inch in thickness.
  • Rib-eye steaks can be marinated for a different flavor, but I do not recommend as the rib eyes are good with some pepper and granulated garlic powder.
  • If you are using Chuck Steaks, I suggest that you marinate for at least 24 hours or longer.
  • This marinade is excellent to marinate roast beef of your choice.

  1. Great steaks, We love the flavor of the soy & ginger. I got your recipe off of Allrecipes that you posted there. Thanks for posting it on ZAAR so that others may enjoy it.
     
  2. Good stuff! We marinated chicken thighs overnight in this mix. I also added 2tsp. chili garlic sauce to turn up the heat a notch ;)
     
  3. Believe it or not I marinated some ribs in this marinade for about 8 hours, then cooked them on the grill slathering them with the sauce as they grilled. Excellent! Thanks!
     
  4. We sure enjoyed this...I followed the recipe exactly and it came out great. Wil be making this agian.
     
  5. This marinade was fantastic! We marinated 2 strip steaks and 2 filets for about 3 1/2 hours and ended up with delicious restaurant-quality meat. I did take the option of using a dry red wine instead of the beer, and used a little less sesame oil than called for. We cooked our steaks medium on the grill and they were outstanding - thanks for posting!

  2. Really good marinade for steaks. I used red wine instead of beer.
     
  3. Uncle Bill, this marinade was very good! I used it on my steaks. I left the steaks in the marinade for 24 hours, I only made a mistake of adding too much ginger and it overpowered the beef, that was my mistake, also I subbed the pancake syrup with corn syrup, and that seemed to work just fine, also I added some freshly ground black pepper also. I'll be making this again, but with less fresh ginger. Great marinade recipe Uncle Bill, thanks for sharing!...Kitten:)
