Beer-Marinated Steak Wraps: Tender, Grilled, and Packed With Beer-Soaked Flavor
Beer-Marinated Steak Wraps are bold, savory, and ready to wrap up all your grilled cravings. The steak gets soaked in a malty beer marinade with garlic, lime, and spices, then seared hot and sliced thin for wraps layered with crisp veggies, sauces, and fresh herbs.
Whether you’re feeding a crowd or meal-prepping with flavor, these wraps bring heat, balance, and beer-forward bite.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6 wraps)
For the Beer-Marinated Steak
- 1½ lbs flank steak or skirt steak
- ½ cup beer (amber ale, brown ale, or Vienna lager — malty, not hoppy)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional: pinch of brown sugar or smoked paprika for added depth
For the Wraps
- 4–6 large flour tortillas or flatbreads
- Shredded lettuce or arugula
- Sliced red onion
- Cherry tomatoes or pico de gallo
- Crumbled feta or shredded cheddar
- Avocado or guacamole
- Sour cream, tzatziki, chipotle mayo, or garlic beer aioli
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Steak
- In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine all marinade ingredients.
- Add steak and marinate for 1–6 hours in the fridge. Remove and pat dry before grilling.
Step 2: Grill the Steak
- Preheat grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat.
- Grill steak 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- Let rest 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
Step 3: Build the Wraps
- Warm tortillas or flatbreads until pliable.
- Layer with greens, steak, toppings, and your sauce of choice.
- Wrap, roll, or fold like a gyro — and serve hot.
Flavor Variations
- Add grilled peppers or onions for fajita-style wraps
- Use tzatziki and cucumber for a Greek-style wrap
- Try shredded cabbage, hot sauce, and pickled jalapeños for a spicy version
- Swap steak for portobello mushrooms or seitan for a beer-marinated veggie wrap
Beer Pairing
In the Marinade
- Amber ale or Vienna lager — malty, toasty, great with grilled meat
- Brown ale or bock for deeper roast character
- Avoid IPAs — bitterness overpowers the marinade
In Your Glass
- Same beer you used in the steak
- Pale ale or session IPA for contrast with rich fillings
- Cream ale or kölsch with lighter toppings
- Dark lager or porter if using chipotle or smoky sauces
Final Thoughts
Beer-Marinated Steak Wraps are fire-kissed, flavor-packed, and endlessly customizable.
With juicy, beer-soaked steak, bold toppings, and your favorite flatbread or tortilla, they’re easy to build and even easier to crush with a cold pint on the side.
Cheers to grilled meat, malty marinades, and wraps that eat like a feast! 🥙🥩🍺🔥
