Instructions

Prepare the marinade

In a bowl, mix dark beer, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper.

Pro tip: Use a whisk to ensure the ingredients are well combined.

Marinate the steaks

Place moose steaks in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over them, seal, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

Pro tip: Place the bag in a bowl in case of leaks.

Preheat the grill

Heat your grill to medium-high, around 400°F (200°C).

Pro tip: Clean the grates to prevent sticking.

Season the steaks

Remove steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt on both sides.

Pro tip: Discard the used marinade.

Grill the steaks

Place steaks on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness.

Rest the steaks

Remove steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Resting helps the juices redistribute.
