I love bourbon steaks that this marinade made for very tasty ones. Only thing I would change is that I would like a little sweeter flavor and will add more brown sugar next time and maybe make extra marinade so that I can baste the steaks while they cook.
Excellent marinade! I used strip steaks and added Jim Beam to the marinade. These steaks were delicious and flavorful. I did add a tablespoon of minced garlic, thanks Sassy, and did cut the recipe by 1/2 since we were just marinating 2 steaks. This is definitely enough marinade for six large steaks. Thanks for a great recipe, Nokomo, enjoyed trying this!
It was a flavorful marinade and if you enjoy bourbon whiskey you will love the flavors. I would use more sugar next time as I like mine more on the sweeter side.
VERY good marinade, for any of your steaks. Hint: take the steaks out of the frig to come to room temp (about 30 minutes) before you cook them.
We enjoyed this. All I had was Southern Comfort and it turned out great. I also only had 5 hours and we could still taste it in every bite. I am giving this a 5 because if it were to sit 8 hours as directed it would have melted in our mouths. I cannot wait to try this again when I have the time to let it sit properly. Thanks for the great recipe!
I made this for Recipe Group. I thought the bourbon came through too strong on this for me not overpowering just more than I like. It needs something maybe some garlic. I normally don't marinate or rub ribeyes as I like the flavor of the meat to come through. If you like the bourbon flavor you will love this. Thanks Nokomo for the recipe.
AMAZING!!!!!!!! Seriously amazing! I am a LOVER of beef and I truly loved this! The longer you marinade the better.
I followed the recipe exactly even had Rib-Eye Steaks on hand. I marinated for just 8 hours and there was not as much flavored as I hoped there would be. They smelled wonderful on the grill but only a few bites of my steak were full of flavor. I think I will make this again but next time definatly try a 24 hour marinate; I might also try it will chicken breasts.
This is a great way to give steaks extra flavor. the only change I made was to add some chopped shallot and to reduce the amount of brown sugar to 2 tablespoons. I also marinated some chicken thighs along with the steaks, and they came out super delicious!
Sorry, but a waste of time & ingredients. No amount of time marinating will infuse the whiskey flavor into the steak. And yes, I have tried this method before I discovered the correct way to flavor my steaks. Buy a new spray bottle. Fill with 1/3 Worcestershire sauce, 1/3 whiskey or bourbon, 1/3 water, and a cap full of 'Liquid Smoke'. Shake to mix well. Key to BBQ'ing is too leave your steaks lay out to reach room temperature. Salt & pepper steaks. Place steaks on a HOT grill and intermittently spray mist the steaks with your mixture, even spraying the flames to create a smoke. Flip steaks ONLY once! Remove when desired temperature is met, and let steaks sit for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices settle. FYI, the Grand Champion of BBQ Pit Masters uses this mixture but includes 'Jack Daniels Whiskey'! Enjoy!
