Wine may be my preferred tipple, but when you are standing over a hot barbecue only beer will do. I enjoy the tangy flavours that beer adds to food. As much as I love pale ales, I find the hop flavours tend to dominate, so use a lager or bitter for this dish. The marinade calls for half a bottle of beer, so reward yourself with a glass.

Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 sprig rosemary, leaves chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons mustard (as mild or hot as you like)
1/2 cup beer (I used Epic lager)
600g piece rump steak
1 cup beef stock (I used Essential Cuisine)
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Mix together the garlic, rosemary, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beer in a non-reactive dish. Snip the skin of the beef at 5cm intervals to stop the steak curling up during cooking. Place in the marinade and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
When ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry. Strain the marinade through a fine sieve and place in a small saucepan with the beef stock. Reduce by half and keep warm.
Season the beef with salt and pepper, and grill to your liking.
