Kentucky Bourbon Steak Bites Recipes

STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Trim off the excess fat from the meat, and then cut strips less than 1-inch wide. Rotate the meat and cut into small bite-size pieces. If you see any more large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membrane, cut them off.
• Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss the meat around a bit to thoroughly coat with the seasonings.
• Next, turn on your ventilation fan-you'll need it! Heat the skillet over medium-high to high heat. As the pan heats, add about 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt, and then get very brown, before you add the meat.
• Place some of the meat in the pan in a single layer. It should sizzle loudly when it hits the pan - if it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough. Don't stir or disrupt the meat for 30 to 45 seconds. You want it to sizzle and brown on one side. Scoop as many steak bites as you can with your spatula and flip them over. Repeat until all the meat is turned. Cook for an additional 30 to 45 seconds-just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside.
• Remove the meat to a clean plate. Add a little more butter to the pan and repeat the cooking process with the next batch just as before. Lastly, when all the meat is nicely browned and removed to the plate, pour all that browned/blackened butter all over the meat. And enjoy!

KENTUCKY BOURBON STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the filet mignon in a bowl.
• Pour bourbon over steak and marinate for 1 hour.
• Remove the filet mignon from the bourbon and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the olive oil to a hot saute pan. Sear the filet mignon on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
• Place the meat in the oven and roast for 15 minutes or until medium rare.
• Remove the meat from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice the filet in half lengthwise.
• Slice each half into 18 thin slices so you have a total of 36 slices.
• In another saute pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced white and red onions.
• Caramelize the onions until they are deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
• Slice the baguette into 36 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and the horseradish.
• Place a piece of filet mignon on each slice of bread. Top with some of the caramelized onions.
• Place a small amount of the horseradish sour cream on top of the onions.
• Garnish with parsley.

GRILLED BOURBON-GLAZED BEEF KABOBS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, mix 1 tablespoon of the bourbon, the teriyaki glaze, orange juice concentrate, brown sugar and crushed red pepper. Heat to boiling over medium heat; reduce heat to low. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon bourbon. Reserve 2 tablespoons glaze.
• In medium bowl, place beef, onion, mushrooms and bell pepper. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt; toss to coat. On each of two 10- to 12-inch metal skewers, thread beef, onion, mushrooms and bell pepper alternately, leaving 1/4-inch space between each piece.
• Cover and grill kabobs over medium heat 9 to 11 minutes, turning once and brushing with glaze during last 3 minutes, until beef is desired doneness and vegetables are tender.
• Just before serving, generously brush kabobs with reserved 2 tablespoons glaze.

KENTUCKY BOURBON SIRLOIN STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Put the black peppercorns in a wide, flat dish. Press the steaks into the peppers to coat them on all sides, then season with salt. Set aside.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan over high heat for 1 minute. Add the steaks, two at a time if necessary to avoid overcrowding, and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer each steak to a dinner plate and set aside.
• 3. Add the shallots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat and add the bourbon, then carefully return the pan to the stove over low heat and cook until the bourbon is almost entirely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, raise the heat to high, bring it to a boil, and continue to boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Swirl in the cream and the butter and warm gently.
• 4. Pour some sauce over each steak and serve.
