Drunken Flat Iron Steak with Crispy Onion Rings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds flat iron steak
  • 1 cup beer (lager or stout)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • For the onion rings:
  • 1 large onion, sliced into rings
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine beer, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, onion powder, and salt. Stir well.
  2. Place the flat iron steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. For the onion rings, soak the onion slices in buttermilk for about 30 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Remove the onion rings from the buttermilk and dredge them in the flour mixture until well coated.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated onion rings in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
  7. Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve the sliced steak alongside crispy onion rings.
