Instructions

Overnight marinade

  • Place steak in a sealable container or resealable bag, mix together beer and soy sauce and then pour over steak.
  • Cover or seal container and place in fridge overnight.
  • Once meat is marinated remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.

    Grilling Marinade

    • Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil and red pepper flakes until sugar is dissolved.
    • Pour marinade over steak strips and mix until completely coated.
    • Remove each steak strip from marinade and thread onto a skewer.
    • Reserve balance of marinade to brush steak strips while cooking.

      Grill
