Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix bourbon and soy sauce in a flat roasting pan, preferably steel.
- Marinate the steak in the mixture for at least 5 hours, or longer if desired.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and grill as usual.
- Season the steak as desired while cooking.
- Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator and reused. Double the ingredients if the meat needs to be almost covered in marinade.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, use a high-quality bourbon and soy sauce. If you're short on time, marinate for at least 1 hour, but overnight is best. Consider using flank or ribeye steaks for richer taste. If you need a gluten-free option, tamari can be a great substitute for soy sauce. Grilling over medium-high heat will give you a nice sear while keeping the steak tender.
Serving Suggestions
This Bourbon N' Steak Barbecue pairs beautifully with Wild Rice And Mushrooms for a hearty meal. Consider serving it alongside grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for balance. For a complete dinner, add a side of mashed potatoes or corn on the cob. A bold red wine can also enhance the dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you have grilled steak leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate. To reheat, place the steak in a preheated oven at 250°F until warmed through, or quickly sear in a hot skillet to maintain juiciness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat for this recipe?
Yes, while the recipe is designed for beef steak, you can experiment with pork chops or chicken. Just adjust the marinating time: chicken may need only 2-3 hours, while pork can benefit from a similar marinating duration as beef.
What type of grill works best for this recipe?
Both gas and charcoal grills work well for this recipe. Charcoal will impart a smokier flavor, while gas offers convenience and control over cooking temperature. Ensure your grill is preheated for the best sear and to lock in the juices.
How do I know when the steak is cooked to my liking?
Using a meat thermometer is the most reliable method. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F, while medium is around 145°F. Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
