For Steaks:
- 1/2 medium red onion, diced

- 2 tablespoons chili seasoning

Directions
In a resealable plastic bag combine onions, garlic, lemon juice, beer, vinegar and chili seasoning. Massage the back to mix the ingredients. Place the steak into the bag, squeeze the air out and seal. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight but no more than 18 hours.
Set up grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil grate when ready to start grilling. Let steaks stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Remove steak from marinade. Place on hot, oiled grill and cook 4 minutes per side for medium rare (145 degrees F). Pour the marinade into a large skillet over medium heat. Reduce by a half or until thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes
Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Slice steak across the grain and serve with Zesty Rice Salad and reduced marinade

The marinade is so good that my 22 month old devoured the meat. It could have used some worchestershire. The rice salad needed something extra, it was pretty bland. The sauce was absolutely bitter! Thank goodness I was the only one that tried it. I love Sandra's recipes, but this one isn't staying in my recipe book.

The "sauce" was very bitter, probably due to the fact that you are reducing lemon juice and beer. It was inedible. Without sauce, the rice salad had no flavor and was very dry. The recipe also calls for too much red onion in the salad as it was overpowering. The steak tasted OK, but wasn't very tender (and we did not overcook it. Overall this recipe leaves something to be desired and just doesn't work.

This recipe was really good, all of the ingredients are constants in my pantry/fridge. I almost always have corona or another type of beer on hand (lol Thank you Sandra for helping to save money in these tough economic times!!
a side note:
Like Donna said, I always check reviews as well....Please remove that one story, things like that should not be attached to a recipe... I was disgusted and lost my appetite after reading that. I almost didn't try the recipe because it was ingrained in my brain when I was getting ready to make dinner.
