Currently cooking from Tasty by Roy Finamore

Who would have thought that a marinade that contains a lot of beer might make the meat taste like beer? Duh! Apparently not me. Neither Bryan nor I like the taste of beer, so after a few bites of this steak, we politely pushed it aside and concentrated on our roasted broccoli instead.

I might have mentioned here a time or two that Bryan and I eat a lot of flank steak. Besides being pretty inexpensive, this cut of meat is quick cooking and takes well to just about any marinade. You can grill it, broil it or cook it on the stovetop, and the leftovers reheat well.

Finamore’s marinade contains a bottle of beer, molasses, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger and hot peppers. I left out the hot peppers and ginger, mostly because I forgot to buy them at the grocery store. I let the meat marinate for about 4 hours before grilling it. If you like beer, you’ll probably like this marinade, since that was about all I could taste.
