Balsamic-Beer Beef Flank Steak

  • Prep Time: 15
  • Cook Time: 10
  • Total Time: 25
  • Serving: 6

Ingredients

1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup (125 mL) beer (either ale or lager) or sherry
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 ½ lb (750 g) Flank Marinating Steak (or Inside Round, Outside Round, Sirloin Tip)

Directions

Combine onion, garlic, beer, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, salt and pepper in large sealable freezer bag. Pierce steak all over with a fork; add to bag, turning to coat; seal and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.

Remove meat from marinade and reserve marinade. Pat steak dry with paper towel.

Grill steak in a closed preheated barbecue over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes for 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick steaks, turning twice or more, or until a digital instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of steak reads 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare doneness at the least. Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring marinade to boil over high heat in a small saucepan; boil for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Slice steak thinly across the grain on a 45-degree angle and serve with sauce.
