Whiskey Marinated Steak

With Bourbon whiskey in the marinade, you can't go wrong!

Prep Time: 10 min    Marinating Time: 4 hours

WHAT YOU NEED:

1½ lbs. London broil, top round, or flank steak

½ cup soy sauce

¼ cup whiskey (eg, Kentucky bourbon such as Jim Beam)

¼ cup canola oil

2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 cloves garlic, minced

 MAKING IT:

Whisk together soy sauce, whiskey, oil, Worcestershire sauce and garlic.  Place meat in marinade, turning to coating both sides.

In a glass dish, marinate meat in refrigerator for at least 4 hours (for best results marinate overnight), turning occasionally. 

Remove meat from marinade. Discard leftover marinade.  Grill over medium heat until internal temperature reaches 145◦F (for medium, warm pink center); 150◦F (for medium-well, slightly pink center) 160◦F (well done, no pink).  

Let steak rest about 5 minutes before cutting into thin slices across the grain.

Serves: 6

TIP:  It's important to discard leftover marinade that has been in contact with raw meat.  If it is boiled in a saucepan for 5 minutes, however, it can be used to serve steak "au jus."
