1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (12-ounce) bottle or can beer
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons chili seasoning
1 1/2 pounds top round steak
Oil, for grate
Zesty Rice Salad, recipe follows
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon chili seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 (14.5-ounce) can red beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

In a resealable plastic bag combine onions, garlic, lemon juice, beer, vinegar and chili seasoning. Massage the back to mix the ingredients. Place the steak into the bag, squeeze the air out and seal. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight but no more than 18 hours.
Set up grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil grate when ready to start grilling. Let steaks stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Remove steak from marinade. Place on hot, oiled grill and cook 4 minutes per side for medium rare (145 degrees F). Pour the marinade into a large skillet over medium heat. Reduce by a half or until thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes
Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Slice steak across the grain and serve with Zesty Rice Salad and reduced marinade.
Heat oil over medium heat in a medium sauce pot. Add garlic, and rice and saute for 2 minutes until rice is toasted. Add 2 1/4 cups water, chili seasoning and season with a pinch of salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet and let cool.
In a large bowl combine onion, yellow pepper, cooled rice, beans, vinegar and cilantro. Mix well and serve with steak.

Categories main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 ounces pilsner beer
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 lime, quartered
2 pounds skirt or flank steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered, depending on size
1/4 cup pilsner beer
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon hot sauce
6 to 8 radishes, cut into wedges
2 jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for drizzling
3 tablespoons chile lime seasoning (I like Tajin)
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
Zest of 2 limes
Olive oil, for oiling the grill
12 to 18 warmed corn or flour tortillas

Steps:

For the marinade: Add the beer, tomato sauce and oil to a large resealable bag. Squeeze the limes in, then drop them in the bag. Add the steaks, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and seal. Marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. Remove the steaks from the bag and discard the contents. Pat steaks dry on both sides and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
For the pico: Add the tomatoes, beer, cilantro, onion, lime juice, hot sauce, radishes, jalapenos and a pinch of salt and pepper to a large bowl. Drizzle with some olive oil, then toss and let rest at room temperature until ready to use.
For the rub: Preheat a grill or griddle to medium-high heat. Add the chile lime seasoning, chile powder and zest to a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning all over the steaks and rub into both sides. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place steaks on the grill, smooth-side down, and cook, flipping midway through, for about 8 minutes total. Remove steaks to a plate, then cover gently with aluminum foil and let rest at least 5 minutes. Thinly slice steaks against the grain along the length. Make tacos with warmed tortillas and prepared pico.
