CHEF'S TIP
The longer you trap the smoke in the glass the more apparent the smoke flavor will be.

- Cut the beef into long strips and mix with the soy, cumin, oil and garlic.
- Put the beef on the skewer and place on the grill. Cook for 2 minutes per side.
- Add the beer to a chilled glass and top with tomato juice and tabasco, stir. Be sure to leave at least 2 inches between the beverage and the top of the glass.
