Whiskey Marinated Steak Recipes

WHISKEY-MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk together the water, whiskey, pineapple juice, brown sugar, diced onion, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and minced garlic in a bowl.
• Lie the steaks in the bottom of a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks; refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Grill steaks to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow steaks to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

HEREFORD HOUSE WHISKEY STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place all 4 filets in the skillet and cook until your desired degree of doneness, turning once; the filets should have a dark brown, well-seared exterior. If the filets are well-seared but not cooked to your desired degree of doneness, then transfer the filets to the oven and cook until desired degree of doneness.
• In the same skillet the filets were browned in, add the whiskey, shallots, thyme and cracked pepper; be careful as the whiskey will flame for 30 to 60 seconds. Reduce by half over high heat. Add the veal glaze, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce and reduce by half. Remove from the heat and add butter, mixing well to incorporate. Season with salt, to taste. Ladle the sauce over the steak, and serve.
• Cook's Note: This sauce can be made without deglazing the pan to accommodate grilled steaks. Simply skip the first step of searing the steaks in the pan.

WHISKEY GLAZED FLAT IRON STEAKS AND GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic. Add the steaks, turn a few times to coat with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, quarter each potato lengthwise to form wedges and put in a medium pot. Cover with cold water to cover by 1-inch and add salt until the water tastes like sea water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Pour the marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced, making sure the sugar does not burn, to make a glaze and sauce for the steak.
• Grill the steaks until an internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer reads about 130 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with the boiled marinade several times in the last few minutes of grilling time. (If you are cooking the filet mignon steaks, you will need to increase this time to 8 to 10 minutes per side to account for the thicker cut). Transfer to a large plate to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. While the steaks grill, add the potatoes to the grill and grill until well-marked and crispy, turning to grill all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the potato wedges to a bowl.
• Toss the grilled potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, chives, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the garlic cloves from the remaining glaze and serve drizzled over the steaks with the potatoes on the side.
