Last week we did a little grilling with tequila. This week it's beer that's on tap.

During our talks with the folks over at Sam Adams last week, we learned that they were working with Chef David Burke to create recipes for guys who were thirsty for flavorful American beer and hungry for a classic cook-out. And wanted to combine the two, but keep it simple.

Sam Adams founder, Jim Koch told us, “Like many guys, I shy away from recipes that have a lot of steps. I’ve found that substituting beer for other ingredients can introduce you to a whole new world of flavors."

Damn straight Jim. Marinade it in some good brew and throw it on the fire. That's how we like it.

So below you'll find Chef Burke's recipe for Samuel Adams Boston Lager Marinated Sirloin. The marinade is made with easy to find ingredients you probably already have around the kitchen. And once it's whipped together and has had a chance to soak your meat for a few hours, it's on the grill for about 10 minutes, until the beer has a chance to caramelize and create some charcoal goodness. (Below that you'll find his recipe for his Grains of Paradise rub, and mix of spices like juniper and ancho-chili powder that'll turn your backyard barbecue into a gourmet event.) Brewliscious.
