Pan sauces typically require wine to lift up the browned bits from pan seared meats and vegetables. For a Cinco de Mayo twist, this recipe uses a dark beer, Negra Modelo, which works wonders with skirt steak. Enjoy!

Impress your guests with these facts about Cinco de Mayo:

• Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of Mexico over the French in the Battle of Puebla May 5,1862.

• It is not to be confused with Mexico’s Independence Day, which is September 16, 1810.

• The largest Cinco de Mayo party is not in Mexico, but is actually held in Los Angeles. It is called Festival De Fiesta Broadway.

 

Ingredients

1 pound skirt steak
1 lime juiced (reserve half the juice for additional seasoning)
2-3 drops Worcestershire
1 pinch each of sugar, salt and pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 ounces Negra Modelo

Preparation

Season skirt steak with half of the lime juice, Worcestershire, sugar, salt and pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in pan on high heat. Pan sear steak for two minutes on each side.
Deglaze the pan with Negra Modelo, keeping the steak in the pan and maintaining high heat to reduce beer to a sauce. Check for seasoning and add more lime juice, sugar or salt to your taste.
Serve with fresh corn tortillas and top with salsa or peppers.
