As much as like to have a glass of wine with my food, sometimes the type of food dictates that a good beer should be the choice. Negra Modelo is one of those beers that I really enjoy with some juicy steak cooked medium rare. The deep caramel flavors pair perfectly with the dark sear marks left on the steak from the grill.

Skirt steak can be cooked in less than five minutes as long as your grill is really hot, this makes it the perfect meat for these tasty steak fajitas. Serve it along with sliced onions and peppers, soft flour tortillas and your favorite spicy salsa for an amazing special dinner.

Negra Modelo is on the darker side of beers with an Oktoberfest feel to it. It can come across as a little on the sweet side which makes it perfect for so many food pairings, even chocolate. So many Mexican beers are light lagers, so Negra Modelo is a nice change if you prefer something a little richer tasting.

The secret to keeping the skirt steak tender is in the marinade. I added some Negra Modelo which helps to break down the fibers of the meat and create the juiciest steak fajitas I’ve ever tasted. Don’t throw that leftover marinade away when you throw the steak on the grill either, you’ll add it to the onion and peppers for even more taste and flavor!

Serve the steak cut into thin strips on warm flour tortillas with peppers, onions and spicy salsa.
