Beer and Brown Sugar Steak

1/2 cup dark beer (I prefer Guiness or Newcastle)
4 tbsp. teriyaki sauce
4 tbsp. dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 steaks, your favorite cut

Mix beer, teriyaki sauce and sugar in a bag or shallow dish to make the marinade. Pierce steaks and add to marinade - let sit for at least 30 minutes. I prefer to let it sit for an hour.

Start to get the grill ready a few minutes before your marinade time is up. When the grill is ready and the meat is sufficiently soaked, remove meat from the marinade onto a cutting board - reserve the marinade. Mix together the seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper and rub equally on both sides of each steak. You should have some spice mixture left over, you don't want to absolutely drown out the flavor of the meat with it.

Grill the meat to your desired level of doneness. Meanwhile, mix the remaining spice mixture and reserved marinade in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Drizzle over cooked steaks just before serving.

Yum!

At first glance I thought this would be a slightly bitter steak because of the beer, but it actually turns out quite sweet thanks to the sugar. Don't worry if you don't like beer, you'll still love this steak!
