This delicious beef steak recipe can be enjoyed served with grilled vegetables or it can be sliced thinly, tossing slices with greens to make a main-dish salad, using the hot marinade sauce as the dressing.

 1 ½ lb (750 g) Flank Marinating Steak (or Inside Round, Outside Round, Sirloin Tip)
 ½ cup (125 mL) beer (either ale or lager) or sherry
 1 small onion, finely chopped
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 ¼ cup (50 mL) ketchup
 1 tbsp (15 mL) chili powder
 2 tbsp (30 mL) balsamic vinegar
 4 tsp (20 mL) grainy or Dijon mustard
 ½ tsp (2 mL) EACH salt and pepper
1

Combine beer, onion, garlic, ketchup, chili powder, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in large sealable freezer bag.

2

Pierce steak several times with fork; place in bag with marinade. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 12 hours.

3

Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Grill over medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning at least twice for medium-rare doneness 145°F (63°C) ; remove from heat and allow to rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer marinade to small saucepan and boil for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. To serve, slice steak in thin strips across the grain and top with sauce, if desired.
