Irish Stout Marinade

Beers often come and go in seasonal fads. Guiness is always a good stand-by, but try other seasonals (Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout works great! Avail: winter) or if you have a local brewpub at you disposal, get a pint of their house porter. Combine all ingredients in a blender and homogenize. After marinating meat for 24 hours, combine steak and marinade in a baking dish deep enough to cover steak half-way. Bake at 450 deg. for 45 minutes or to taste. Grill and BBQ at your own discretion.
