I love cooking with beer! A quick, 30-minute marinate infuses this skirt steak with an amazing flavor. Beer also makes for a great meat tenderizer so it’s a win-win situation.
My family in Venezuela often used it to braise and to marinate; our famous “Carne en Vara” (beef on a stick) marinates in beer overnight with garlic, herbs, and spices. Although I was only familiar with lager beers before, I now use all variations in my recipes.
