Grilled Guinness Rib-Eye Steak Recipe

by

This is a deep, rich grilled rib-eye steak that is marinated in a dark beer sauce.  You can use the marinade as a baste however we did not do that when recording the video. These steaks come out absolutely delicious every time! After eating these Grilled Guinness Rib-Eye Steaks you may no longer be satisfied with what you find at the local steak house.

Marinade

Begin by getting the marinade ready. The marinade needs to site for at least 30 minutes to give the flavors time to blend. I usually make the marinade the day before and store it in the refrigerator inside a mason jar. The mason jar works well because you can mix and store the Guinness beer marinade it in the jar.

Ingredients

  • 2 rib-eye steaks (8 ounces each)
  • 4 ounces/ Guinness Stout Beer (room temperature)
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon  onion
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Sea salt
 

Directions

  1. Combine crushed garlic and onion and place in a small bowl or mason jar
  2. Finely chop the parsley and add it to the container.
  3. Add the Worcestershire sauce, Guinness beer, soy sauce, and seasonings then mix well to combine. I like using the mason jar because I can put the top on and shake it.
  4. Let stand for 30 minutes to blend flavors. Place the rib eye in a resealable plastic bag and add the marinade.
  5. Make sure steaks are well coated. Seal the bag and place it into the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours. About half-way through the marinating time, flip the bag over.
  6. Preheat the grill. Remove steak from bag making sure to reserve marinade. Place steak onto the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until it has reached the desired doneness.
  7. Add remaining marinade in a small saucepan and simmer sauce over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Make sure to stir often.
  8. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low if necessary. Add more beer to the marinade at this stage if desired.
  9. Once cooked through, remove sauce from heat and let stand until steaks are ready.

Steak Cooking Times and Temperatures

Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F). Always check the steak with a cooking thermometer. Remember the meat will continue to cook as it rests.

Allowing Steak To Rest

It is essential to let the steak rest before cutting it. This is true for most meats, including chicken, lamb, pork, and even some fish.

  • If pressed for time, allow your meat to rest for a minimum of 5-7 minutes before cutting.
  • If you have a thick cut of meat, allow it to rest for 10-20 minutes before cutting.
  • Never let it rest for less than 3 minutes.

  • 4 tablespoons silver tequila
  • Juice & zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced less if you don't like garlic
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • Pepper to taste I don't add salt since shrimp is salty enough

Instructions

  1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a large Ziploc bag. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator
  2. Preheat BBQ/grill to high. Reduce heat to medium-high
  3. Thread the shrimp onto skewers or get a grilling basket warmed up and lightly oiled

Savory Beef Tips in Red Wine Sauce Instant Pot Recipe

by

Savory beef tips use to take hours to cook, until the Instant pot or electric pressure cookers. Now this savory dish cooks up tender and tasty in no time! This recipe is perfect when you want a homecooked meal that is comforting and tasty but you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

Savory beef tips use to take hours to cook, until the Instant pot or electric pressure cookers. Now this savory dish cooks up tender and tasty in no time! This recipe is perfect when you want a homecooked meal that is comforting and tasty, but you don't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

 

The Meat

I like to use top sirloin for this dish because most of the fat has been trimmed away. Since this cook in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker, you can go with a cheaper cut of meat and it will still be tender.

The Mushrooms

I usually use button mushrooms in this dish and will frequently decrease the amount of meat and increase the number of mushrooms. Since the sauce is so rich and flavourful, the mushrooms will take on a lot of the sauce's flavor, making more expensive mushrooms unnecessary.

Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound), cubed
  • 2 Cloves of garlic crushed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ⅓ cup dry red wine or beef broth
  • ½ pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, halved and sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup cold water

Instructions

  1. Select saute setting on a 6-qt. Electric pressure cooker and adjust for medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Brown meat in batches, adding oil as needed. Transfer meat to a bowl.
  2. Add wine to the cooker, stirring to loosen browned bits. Return beef to cooker; add the mushrooms, onion, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Lock lid; close the pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 15 minutes—quick-release pressure.
  3. Select saute setting and adjust for low heat; bring the liquid to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into beef mixture. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles

5 Reasons You Need A Dutch Oven in your Kitchen

by

5 Reasons You Need A Dutch Oven

Call it a Dutch oven, a cocotte, a casserole dish, or a cast iron pan -- just don't underestimate it. Once you have one in your kitchen you'll wonder how you've ever cooked without it! Since the entire team at Cooking With Spirits likes to be creative we thought we'd share 5 Reasons You Need A Dutch Oven in your Kitchen.

If you think a dutch oven is just to cook soup, you're not using it to its full potential.

1. Bake Bread

Jim Lahey’s no-knead bread recipe has amassed a serious following. You just stir and then bake -- no kneading, no shaping, and very little room for error. The steam from the Dutch oven creates a crackly, golden crust -- the kind home bakers lust after -- and a perfectly round shape.

2. Braise Meat

Low and slow: That’s the key to braising. Cast iron keeps heat consistent during cooking, so you can leave the pot alone for hours without fussing with the stove. As an added bonus, it retains heat long after you take your braise from the stove -- take it directly to the table and it’ll stay warm for dinner.

3. Your Dutch Oven Can Act as a DIY Cooler

Fresh, crisp salads should remain that way, and your Dutch oven can help. Fill an enameled Dutch oven with ice water and let it stand until the pot is thoroughly chilled (about 5 minutes). Dump the water out, dry the pot, and transfer the chilled food into the pot for serving. Because of cast iron’s ability to retain heat (or lack thereof) and keep a stable temperature, your Dutch oven will remain cold for much longer than would a glass or plastic serving bowl.

4. Fry Something

Frying can be a daunting task -- and a messy one. The tall sides of a Dutch oven help to cut down on oil splatter, and the cast iron handles very high heat without burning.

5. Your Dutch Oven Can Double as a Smoker

Just because the weather isn’t cooperating doesn’t mean that you can’t smoke food. Indoor smoking delivers some of the same complexity and aromas that you’d produce on a grill.

If you're interested in our other favorite kitchen tools check out our Kitchen Tools and Supplies Page.

Call it a Dutch oven, a cocotte, a casserole dish, or a cast iron pan -- just don't underestimate it. Once you have one in your kitchen you'll wonder how you've ever cooked without it!
