Beer-basted Steaks

Description
Similar to the original, modern beefsteak, this tangy beef dish is made and infused with real beer and condiments and usually delivers a bold, red-hot aroma that it relishes and enhances with the bay leaf and alcohol content grilled to smoky perfection. Onion powder and balsamic vinegar often respectively replace the real onions and the white vinegar and work for this, too. Trust us, you will never be deceived.
