Beer Rub Steak

This is probably the simplest recipe ever, but the flavor is amazing. It's called Beer Rub, because you do a dry rub then about 15-20 minutes prior to cook - pour a nice good beer over it. It's important to use a good beer, since the stronger the ale or stout, the more flavor it will have.

You can use a DRY steak rub purchased in most grocery stores like Lawry's or McCormick's Montereal Steak Rub or make your own:

4 tbsp course salt
1 tbsp course cracked black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp paprika
1/2 tbsp granulated garlic
1/2 tbsp dried rosemary, lightly crushed
1/2 tbsp crushed red chili flakes
1/2 tbsp dried thyme

Rub Steaks with the dry rub, let sit for an half an hour or longer, covered yet not refrigerated. Then take a beer like an ale or stout and pour it over the steaks in a shallow bowl. The rub will start to fizz with the carbonation of the beer. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes.

Then you are ready to grill, fry or roast. Really the options are endless, different beers, different cook methods and different rubs. This is an easy one for BBQ's and everyone likes that beer flavor in the meat. Mmmmm.
