<p>I love science :@) 3:-O ~:> </p>
<p>Someone is probably working on a study trying to prove that washing a grilled steak down with some brew reduces cancer risks… I’m sure there will be a lot of eager to sign up test subjects. ;)</p>
<p>I prefer marinating the cook </p>
<p>If you consume grilled meat about couple times a months, then, I do not believe there is a great difference. We do not like to monkey around with it, we just take it out of store packaging and slap it on a grill for about 10 min. We do it about 2 times / month. Frankly, I would not care to have it at all if my H. would not. But he likes it. For me, it has to be perfect, otherwise I will not eat it at all. That includes, nothing to be added to it, I eat it with wasabi. I love my beer also…separately from meat. But I add juice to my beer. My other concern is what happen to blood while you are marinating. I love stake with the blood dripping from it.</p>
<p>@MiamiDAP juice to your beer?!?!? What type of juice? Maybe a lemonade (shandy) in the summer?</p>
<p>All these carcinogens in grilled food studies – how do they grill the food? I wonder if it’s from lighter fluid and charcoal briquettes more than anything else. Do the studies specify? We always used hardwood charcoal with no chemicals.</p>
<p>Raw meat marinated in beer, you mean, then cooked. In my household, grilled meat and beer are kept a safe distance apart until they hodgepodge in my stomach.</p>
<p>Sschickens, tomato or clamato juice in beer is delicious, makes it tangy. You can justify that you are getting your vegetables as well!

<p>@GA2012MOM Thanks - what’s the ratio? 2/3 beer? Might have to give it a try!</p>
<p>That sounds about how I would make it but of course it would just be to your taste.</p>
<p>Grilled meat goes well with almost anything! :)</p>
<p>As for the beer…depends on the type…would enjoy it combined with grilled meat. :)</p>
<p>I listened to an “expert” discussing this the other day. He said you could marinate in olive oil and still see a reduction in nano grams. He also said the worst thing you can do while grilling is to grill well done or char the food.</p>
<p>Do not mess with my steak. </p>
<p>It is high temperature cooking like pan frying or open flames that creates chemicals in the meat that are cancerous to mice. Still ongoing debate on effect on people.</p>
<p>I loved the marinated cook post…laugh out loud. Thanks for the chuckle.</p>
