Ingredients

  • 1 package of sazon seasoning containing coriander and achiote, weighing 1.41 ounces, for example, the one from Goya®.
  • 1 can or bottle of Mexican beer, measuring 12 fluid ounces.
  • 2 pounds of flank steak, approximately 1-inch thick.

Step 1

Start by emptying all 8 sachets of sazon seasoning into a large resealable plastic bag big enough to hold a gallon. Next, pour in some beer, seal the bag tightly, and give it a good shake until the sazon seasoning mixes in smoothly. Then, gently place the flank steak into the bag, seal it up, and pop it in the fridge for a lovely soak lasting 8 hours or even overnight for a deeper flavor infusion.

Step 2

As the meat marries with the flavors, get your outdoor grill preheated to a cozy medium-high heat. Remember to give the grate a light coating of oil to prevent sticking. Once the grill is ready, retrieve the marinated steak from the bag, bidding farewell to the marinade that has done its job.

Step 3

Lay the steak on the sizzling grill and let it cook undisturbed for roughly 6 minutes on each side to achieve that perfect medium doneness or adjust according to your preference. When the steak is cooked just right, transfer it from the grill and allow it to relax for about 10 minutes before slicing. Remember to cut against the grain for tender, mouthwatering slices.
