Cooking With Beer: Backdraft Flank

Posted by in Recipes on September 15, 2010 9:14 am / 2 comments

Sometimes cooking with beer works sometimes it does not.  This is the first recipe I developed myself for the blog.  Developing a recipe involves a great deal of trial and error, but perseverance will result in success.  I know summer is now officially over but as football season is getting started a few of you may need a good tailgate recipe.
Here is a recipe I recently tried out that worked well:
1 Flank Steak
Combine for 12 hours in zip lock bag.
Grill to desired doneness.  (I grilled it for about 20 minutes on low coals)
Make sure you rest your meat.  If you do not know how to do this, then you really should not be allowed in the kitchen.  Also, cutting flank steak across the grain will generate a better mouthfeel as you chew on it.
Paired with: Backdraft Brown of course!
