Guinness is a dark stout beer that a lot of beer drinkers are a little weary about trying. Some people just don't have the pallet for a stout beer, I agree it is an aquired taste.  I now thourglly enjoy an ice cold Guinness on occasion. This recipe is a gret way to enjoy Guinness, even if you don't prefer to drink it. It is a classic marinade that is full of flavor. The beer in this marinade will give your steaks a subtle earthy flavor that allows the natural delicious flavor of the steak to come through. Try this on a flank steak, london broil, or sirloin.Â

This is an award winning marinade recipe and we couldn't help but to share this with our audience.  Most times I would say 30 minutes to marinate a flank steak? Yeah Right! It is true, follow this recipe and find out for yourself.
Everyone out there forgets to take something out for dinner, I am notorious for that. I always think "well if I take out a steak then I have to marinate it overnight." Ahh forget it, steak goes back in the freezer and you pick up the phone and order Chinese food. Once you try this you will be amazed at how good it tastes in such a short amount of time. Check...

This amazing combination of spices and flavors was introduced to me by one of my fellow STEAKNIGHT attendees Javier. The recipe comes from Argentina, and is quite amazing on flank steak, but can be used on a number of different meats. I have used this on pork, chicken, steaks (of course), and even on vegetables. If spicy dosen't work for you mellow it out by removing some or all of the hot pepper. Still tastes great!
Indgreidents:
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1 clove garlic
2 minced shallots
1 teaspoon minced basil, thyme or oregano,...

Recently on my trip to Virginia I was treated to a wonderful new marinade. At first glance I didn't realize it was a steak marinade because of the light color. One taste and I knew we were in for a treat. Wow, that couldn't be more true, the skirt steak was cooked perfectly and loaded with flavor. You'll love this one. Thanks to Sharon and John for the hook up! Let us know what you think of it.
