Steak Marinated in Beer and Green Onions

This is a recipe we got out of American Heart Associations Cookbook. I've doctored it up a bit since we first tried it. The choice of beer is your favorite but I've found it goes best with a good light beer.

Ingredients (Marinade)

1 1/2 cups light beer (12 ounces)
4 green onions, minced
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp grated gingerroot (ground ginger works)
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 medium garlic cloves, minced, or 1 tbsp of jarred minced garlic
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp vegetable oil









Directions

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, place steaks in a bag and pour in marinade.
2. Marinate 1 to 24 hours, the longer the better.

We used top round sirloin steaks, I typically take out the steaks, wipe them down and allow to rest till they reach room temperature. Preheat grill to medium-high (400+), and grill each side 4-6 minutes depending on how rare you like your meat.

I also boiled the marinade for 5 minutes, which kills any bacteria from the raw meat, and used it as a sauce for our mashed potatoes.
