Alström's Doppelbock Steak with Parmesan Garlic Broccoli and Tomato Salad

What you need:

- Find yourself the perfect-portioned steak of choice; make sure it’s nice and marbled with fat (despite popular belief, these are the best cuts).

- Buy at least 1 bottle of Doppelbock beer: Aying’s Celebrator, Paulaner Salvator, Spaten Optimator or even Sam Adams Triple Bock if you can find it. These beers are malty sweet, less hoppy, and high in alcohol, which is perfect for grilling with steak. Check with your local brewpub, too--they might have a fresh growler of Doppelbock that you can take home (use only 12-16oz.).

- Broccoli (1 average-sized head, per person)

- Parmesan cheese (half a cup or so)

- Chopped garlic (as much as you want)

- Salt and pepper

- Olive oil (a few tablespoons)

- Yellow and orange tomatoes (1 of each, per person)

- Balsamic dressing

Directions:

1. Get an airtight container, drop the steak in, and pour the entire bottle of bock over the steak. Seal the container and give it a good shake, then stick it in the fridge at least overnight or up to 24 hours, re-shaking occasionally.

2. When it’s time to grill, simply slap that doppelbock-soaked piece of meat on the grill and get cooking. Personally, we don’t like our steak cooked more than medium rare; anything more is a waste of meat and its goodness. And besides, you just killed any bacteria by soaking it in alcohol.

3. While the steak is grilling, steam up the broccoli, then mix it gently with the olive oil. Shake in the parmesan cheese and chopped garlic (to your preference), then add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Chop up the tomatoes length-wise into meaty slices, then arrange on a small plate and splash on just a bit of that balsamic dressing.

5. Recommended: You can always reduce the leftover beer marinade by cooking it down on low heat, then drizzle it over the finished steak. Feel no need to add anything to it; the beer is tasty by itself and even more so when blended with the juice from the steak.

Pair with more doppelbock beer, or contrast with something light, like a pale ale or lager.

Now go forth and grill with beer ...

I couldn't find any doppelbock, unfortunately.

I tried this with Guiness, and it turned out to be pretty good. I also reduced the beer/juices into a sauce (added salt, pepper, a dash of cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder and a shot of tabasco).

The sauce would make a great meatloaf sauce.
