Ingredients
- 1 bottle light lager beer
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 length fresh lemongrass, lightly bruised with the blunt side of a knife
- 1 strip fresh lemon zest
- 1 knob peeled fresh ginger, sliced
- 1 teaspoon toasted coriander seed
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- About 2 to 3 pounds steak of your choice
Directions
- Combine the beer, oil, lemongrass, lemon zest, ginger, coriander seed, thyme, and salt in a large zipper-lock bag. Gently move everything around in the bag until the salt has fully dissolved.
- Place the steak in the bag, squeeze out the excess air, and close it tightly. Chill for at least 1 hour and as long as 12 hours. When you’re ready to grill, take the steak out of the marinade, pat it dry with paper towels, and cook it on the grill however you like.
