Step 1

Start by pouring all eight packets of sazon seasoning into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in the beer, seal the bag, and give it a good shake until the seasoning is fully dissolved. Add the flank steak to the bag, seal it up, and pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium-high and brush the grates with a little oil to keep the steak from sticking. Take the steak out of the marinade and discard the liquid.

Step 3

Place the steak on the hot grill and cook it for about 6 minutes per side for medium doneness, or longer if you like it more well done. Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes to keep it juicy.
