BEER PAIRING
Pair with a Belgian Witbier, like Blue Moon® Belgian White Belgian-Style Wheat Ale
The citrusy notes of Valencia orange peel in Blue Moon® Belgian White make a fruity match with the orange and lime in this dish.
This is grilled steak in all its glory: a vibrant citrus marinade made of orange, lime, chipotle peppers and cilantro. The floral and peppery coriander in Blue Moon® Belgian White deliciously contrasts the earthy flavors in this dish while simultaneously amplifying the chilies and cilantro. The crisp carbonation? It leaves you wanting another bite.
