Beer Marinade Recipes

BEER AND GARLIC GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a gallon size zip-close bag or an airtight container. Stir together the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken.
• Seal and turn the bag or container to coat the pieces evenly. Let rest in the refrigerator for 12-36 hours. I try to marinate chicken for a minimum of 24 hours most of the time, because the longer time makes a huge different in the flavor.
• When ready to cook the meat, let the chicken rest on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour prior to cooking.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. For boneless skinless chicken thighs, cook the meat 6 minutes on each side. Then increase the heat closer to medium-high and cook an additional 4 minutes, as needed. Enjoy!

JUICY & FLAVORFUL BEER MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare a non-reactive container or freezer bag appropriately sized for the steak(s). Thinly slice shallot, mince or roughly chop the garlic. Pick the thyme leaves (optional).
• Add all marinade ingredients to container (beer should be last) and whisk until well combined. Add steak and make sure it is well covered with marinade.
• Marinate for 3 to 24 hours, covered and refrigerated. Occasionally move the steak around to ensure all of its surfaces are adequately accessed by the marinade. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
• Heat grill (or pan/griddle) to medium-high to high heat. Scrape marinade off the steak surface and discard. Pat dry steak and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or sear for about 3-5 minutes per side, flipping once until your desired doneness is reached. (See steak temperatures below).
• Remove from the grill and rest the steak before slicing/serving. You may lightly cover it with foil while resting.

BEER MARINATED DEER/ELK/MOOSE STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk together beer, soy sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, and hot sauce in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add venison steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 days.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
• Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

BEER AND BROWN SUGAR STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• 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.
• Remove steaks from marinade. Pour marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook for several minutes.
• 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.
