Note
For best results, slice the beef against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
Do not consume any leftover marinade that has touched raw meat. If you wish to use the marinade as a sauce, boil it for at least 5 minutes before serving.
If you prefer a sweeter glaze, you can brush the steaks with a mixture of 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water during the last minute of grilling.
Store leftover sliced steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying out the meat.
You can substitute the flat beer with beef broth or additional soy sauce if you prefer an alcohol-free version, though the beer adds a unique depth of flavor and helps tenderize the meat.
