Categories: Marinades

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard (we sometimes omit)
  • 1/4 cup Bourbon whiskey
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (we use wheat free)
  • 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or A-1 sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (we use less)
  • 2 Tablespoons minced red onion
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger, optional
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. This makes enough marinade for steak, 2-3 pounds.

  2. Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Score both sides of the steak with several 1/4 –inch deep gashes; pierce it all over with a skewer or sharp fork. Place the steak in a zipper-lock bag or shallow baking dish and cover with the marinade. Place the bag or dish (covered) into the refrigerator for 1 or even better, 2 days; shake the bag or turn the steak from time to time.

  3. To Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the steak over medium-hot coals. Turn the steak every 3 to 4 minutes for a total grilling time of 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the center of the steak registers 125° to 140°F. on thermometer. Remove the steak, loosely cover with foil, and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before carving.
