PROS

This beer soaked beef is very easy to make and takes only a few minutes to prep.

The combination of beer, garlic, and brown sugar creates a unique and delicious marinade that infuses the beef with fantastic flavor.

CONS

Flank steak is lean but not as tender as other cuts of beef, making it easy to overcook or dry out.

Marinade can overpower the taste of the beef if it is marinated for too long.

The recipe requires a 4-24 hour window for marination, which may not be convenient for everyone.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is a rich source of protein and iron, which can improve muscle mass and blood health.
Beer may have health benefits when consumed in moderation, including lowering the risk of heart disease and stroke. It may also improve bone density and brain function due to the high levels of silicon and antioxidants present in some varieties.
