Not great steak, just top sirloin on sale at Publix. Wrapped in bacon at the suggestion of my daughter. And I tried to hit medium using a digital thermometer, but it ended up just a smidge below well done. So, whatever. Bacon covers a multitude of sins.
The beer was from a six pack bought at least a couple months ago, and I hung onto the last bottle waiting for an opportune moment to sping it upon the right food. I wasn’t sure this was it, but I figured since it leans malty and it’s certainly not hoppy, it might go well with steak. I just wasn’t sure about the spices.
Fortunately, it all came together well. The steak pushed the spices to the background and it really was just a pleasant pairing. Nothing to sacrifice a limb for, but recommended.
