[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Got steak. Got Guiness. Now what?

Posted: 6/24/2005 12:39:24 PM EDT

So I've got a couple of nice, thick steaks with good marbelling. I've got a few pints of Guinness Extra Stout. And I remember a post on here about marinating beef in The Nectar of the Gods, but can't find it now.

What do I need to do to have these steaks in good shape for the grill tomorrow night?

If the cut of meat is good then nothing [/lightly seasoned]

See above!

(Kosher Salt, Freshly Ground Black Pepper)
or
(light coat of olive oil, Johnny's SS, Black Pepper, and light dusting of cayenne)

The marbling will take care of all the rest!

+1. Just a heavy pinch of kosher salt, a little fresh-ground pepper, and a little oil to coat. That should be all you need. Adding other stuff just hides the flavor of the meat.

I've had steaks that were heavily pre-flavored in marinades, and they can be good, but I guess I'm a purist. I prefer to simply taste the meat.

Let me be more clear. I have 'good steak with a little salt and pepper' all the time. I am looking for a little something different and remember a post on here where somebody mentioned marinating the steak in Guinness.

You could go get some better beer. Like Milwaukee's Best, PBR, Schlitz or ... just about anything.

You and Chaingun need to get together for a cookout. You've both got the same shitty taste in foods...

It might taste good the way you do it, but he has ruined me on it.

Marinate them overnight in cheap pink champagne or cold duck....I gaurantee that you will be able to cut them with your fork! This really works well.

Dont forget to season them before you put them on the grill!

Try a little fresh squeezed lime while cooking.

I like to marinate in Goya Mojo Criolo overnite.
Available at Giant or Shopper's.

That's my usual. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the meat and through it on the grill. As it gets close to done I cut open a lime and squeeze the juice over it. Picked that one up from the sizzling lamb dish at the Indian restaurant.

I'll keep an eye out for it. May try it next time.

I've been googling and based on the hits I'm getting it would seem that 'Guinness Steak' is serrved by every pub and restaurant on the whole damned island.

I've got a New York Strip sitting on the counter waiting on the birquettes.

And a couple of cold Pabst Blue Ribbon's sitting in the fridge. <rednecksmilie>

I havent had guiness in so long Ive almost forgotten what its like, but heres my beer/steak marinade. A good porter beer, black and tan fans could get by on their favorite beer, marinate a ribeye in it for about half an hour. If I am feeling energetic, I will sear both sides real good in a cast iron pan before throwing it in the broiler. If Im feeling lazy, straight to the broiler. I prefer to only flip it once, but thats only a matter of pride. When it comes out, sea salt, 50/50 ground black pepper and peppercorn medely with above mentioned beer.
