Looking for new ideas, lol.
Do you mean cook a steak or any recipes with beef in?
I pretty much only know one way to cook a steak lol. I like it well done, but still tender. So I put a rub on a piece of filet mignon. Usually salt, pepper, garlic powder, maybe paprika or chili. I heat olive oil on a skillet on low and throw the steak on. I don't like standing at the stove, so I put it on low heat and go in the other room. When I smell it cooking, I go flip it over lol. When I remember I had something on the stove, I go back for it and it's usually done. Takes about 40 minutes, but it's never burned.
My dad & I always make up a little spice jar, where we add in all sorts of spices (oregano, basil, garlic powder, and whatever else seems interesting), and put that over the meat as it cooks on the grill. We don't grill much steak, but we use the spice jar for pretty much anything we put on the grill! No 2 meals are alike with an ever-changing array of seasonings!
Normally I grilled. But that does not work at all in a driving rainstorm and not that well when it gets dark at 5.
I used to grill big chunks of assorted color bell peppers at the same time.
I took the act indoors and pan fry the steak using Trader Joe's garlic flavored olive oil. And I've added onions. So I slice the onions then cut each slice in half. Take part of each bell pepper and cut it into strips. In the pan start with the onions and a bit later add the peppers. Cook in enough olive oil to barely coat the pan until the peppers start to soften. I usually start on medium and turn it down to low. Also uncovered at first then cover. With the onions and peppers removed wipe the pan with a paper towel and then put back on high heat (I have a rather thick pan so it takes a b it to heat it up. Medium would be better with a thinner pan). Add olive oil and sear each side. Turn to low and add the peppers and onions back. Cover and come back every so often (like every commercial) to sort of stir the peppers and onions. Try to keep a lot of them on top of the steak.
When almost done turn off the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Pour onto the plate and serve.

Go vegan. Better for body and soul.
My mother marinates rib-eye steak in beer (actually Scotch Fillets, to be precise) and then roasts it. Not exactly sure what she does, but it is delicious, and my wife and I couldn't replicate it.
That said my all-time favorite way to enjoy steak is to get together with family and friends and go out to a nice steakhouse (I recommend "Smokey's" in Madison, WI).
I've heard of beer being used in BBQ sauce but not as a marinade. I definitely want to try that out. Thanks
