Porter Marinated Flank Steak Lettuce Wraps with IPA Chimichuri

Porter Marinated Flank Steak Lettuce Wraps with IPA Chimichuri 2

I spent the better part of the last two weeks throwing myself into my second book. Cooking at 1 am, editing photos at dawn, trying to pull sentences out of my weary brain that would actually be ones that you would want to read.

Monday at 2 am I finally sent it off to my publisher. 100 recipes, all made with beer, all intend for parties. Small bites, appetizers, desserts. The years I’ve spent in the beer world have given me an overwhelming appreciation for the community that exists here. The people who gravitate to craft beer are those who want to share, not just beer but ideas, companionship, trust, knowledge, this is a community of people that thrive together. Of course, a book about beer food to be shared just made sense. I hope you love it as much as I do, I hope you make food to share with other, and I hope that maybe somewhere, the craft beer community is grown a little stronger because of the book I spent so much time creating. It’s the least I can do.

I see a stout and an IPA in the recipe. But what beer would you pair with this recipe?

Always pair to the more dominate flavor, which in this recipe is the Chimichuri sauce. I’d use an IPA to compete with how big those flavors are, or possibly a hoppy summer ale.

Made this tonite for dinner, AMAZING and DELICIOUS! Everyone enjoyed it. Though I used my Grand Cru as I was out of IPA

Well done.
