Author Notes
This is my dad's recipe. It goes back as long as I can remember. It goes great alongside rice pilaf, polenta, greens, in a sandwich, you name it. It wears many hats. - funklight —funklight
Test Kitchen Notes
This is a super-tender marinated grilled flank steak loaded with Asian aroma and flavors; soy, ginger, garlic, a hint of sesame oil. In fact, all the ingredients added a distinct layer of flavor that made this so delicious. I am not a beer drinker and wondered how it would blend in. It does perfectly, it doesn’t over power the taste, just enhances it. I boiled, to reduce the excess marinade, and served it on the side with grilled mushrooms and a ramen noodle slaw. Raves from all, who also loved the name -- Beersteak! With leftovers that make incredible salads and sandwiches, this is a fabulous recipe. - lapadia —lapadia
