Instructions
1
Marinate steak in beer
Start by mixing all eight packets of sazon seasoning with the beer in a large resealable plastic bag. Give it a good shake until the seasoning dissolves. Pop the flank steak in, seal the bag, and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight if you have the time.
2
Preheat and Oil Grill
When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium-high and brush the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Take the steak out of the marinade and discard the liquid.
3
Grill Steak to Medium
Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side for medium, or adjust the time to how you like it. Once it’s done, take it off the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes — this helps keep it juicy.
4
Slice Steak Thinly
Finally, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips, and you’re ready to serve!

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the meat, either in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave with a damp paper towel. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to two months.
