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

  1. In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine all marinade ingredients.
  2. Add steak and marinate for 1–6 hours in the fridge. Remove and pat dry before grilling.

Step 2: Grill the Steak

  1. Preheat grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat.
  2. Grill steak 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  3. Let rest 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.

Step 3: Build the Wraps

  1. Warm tortillas or flatbreads until pliable.
  2. Layer with greens, steak, toppings, and your sauce of choice.
  3. 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! 🥙🥩🍺🔥
