Bourbon Molasses Marinated Steak Recipes

BOURBON MARINATED RIB-EYE STEAKS

Steps:

• Whisk bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon, olive oil, pineapple juice, Worcestershire, garlic, and ginger together in a medium mixing bowl until thoroughly combined and mustard is well broken down in the mix.
• Place steaks in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade into the bag and squeeze out excess air. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steaks from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Place steaks on the preheated grill and cook until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium. Turn steaks once during cooking and shift twice to mark the steaks with diamond patterns.

MOLASSES MARINATED FLANK STEAK WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together the oil, cola, molasses, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, black pepper and lime juice. Put the steak into a large shallow bowl and pour in the marinade. Move the steak around to assure the marinade is covering the meat. Allow to marinate 2 hours or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the grill over medium heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and put it on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Brush the bread slices with cream cheese. Slice the steak against the grain into very thin strips. Top the cheese with a strip of meat and a red pepper strip. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.

BOURBON MOLASSES MARINATED STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients, except orange slices, in a small bowl. Set aside 1/3 cup of the marinade and leave at room temperature.
• Place steaks in a zip top bag and pour remaining marinade over them. Add in orange slices, remove as much air as possible, and place bag on a plate (in case of leaks). Place in refrigerator for at least 4 hours to overnight.
• Remove steak from marinade, discard marinade that's been in contact with the raw meat and blot steaks dry with a paper towel. The steaks will be a deep brown color at this point. Allow steaks to come up to room temperature for about an hour. While steaks are coming up to temp, light grill and set for maximum direct heat. Allow gas grill to preheat for at least 15 minutes. For charcoal grill, be sure coals are piled high and as close to grilling grate as possible.
• Place steaks over direct heat, flipping them every 20 seconds. Using a reliable quick-read thermometer, start checking internal meat temperature after about 3-4 minutes of grilling. When meat temperature reaches about 100°F, start basting the steaks with the reserved marinade before every flip.
• When steak temperature reaches 120°F remove from grill, tent with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5-6 minutes. Because we grilled these steaks with intense direct heat, the energy created is going to induce carry-over cooking for several minutes after the steaks have been removed from the grill. After a 5-minute rest, the steaks will be at a perfect medium rare range of about 127° or so.
• Slice, garnish, and serve. Feel free to season with salt and pepper but go easy. The tamari, while not as salty as soy sauce, is still a bit salty so be sure you taste before seasoning.

BOURBON MOLASSES SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring sugar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until caramel is dark amber. Remove from heat and stir in remaining 1/4 cup water, then stir in bourbon, butter, molasses, and salt. Return to heat and simmer, stirring, to dissolve any hardened caramel if necessary.

BOURBON-MOLASSES MARINATED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Place the tenderloin medallions in a shallow non-reactive dish, and pour the marinade over the meat. Cover the meat, and refrigerate it for 2 to 4 hours, turning it once. Remove it from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before cooking.
• Drain the medallions, and salt and pepper them. RESERVE 1/2 cup of the marinade.
• In a large cast-iron skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until it is browned and crispy. Remove it with a slotted spoon, and drain it. Set aside the bacon, and reserve the drippings.
• Stir the oil into the drippings, raise the heat to medium high, and add the medallions. Cook them rare, about 3 minutes, turning once. Remove the steaks, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, and raise the heat to high. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom, and stir the marinade as it thickens into a glaze, which requires about 1 to 2 minutes. Working quickly, return the steaks to the skillet briefly to coat them with the glaze on both sides. Transfer the medallions to a decorative platter, sprinkle the bacon over, and serve immediately. Serves 4.
