Ingredients

• 2 pounds round steak
• 1 cup beer (lager or ale)
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beer, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Whisk until the marinade ingredients are fully combined.

Step 2

Place the round steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring that it is completely coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate the steak and marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally to ensure even absorption of the flavors.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the round steak on the preheated grill and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a clean plate and tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
