Whiskey Rib Eye Recipes

BOURBON STREET RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk together the water, bourbon whiskey, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl, and pour into a plastic zipper bag. Add the rib-eye steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the rib-eye steaks from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the steaks on high, 1 to 2 minutes per side, to sear the meat. Move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes per side, if desired.

RIB-EYES WITH WHISKEY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place the steaks in a shallow dish.
• Rub the steaks well in oil on both sides, then season with salt and pepper.
• Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour (no less!).
• Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Add in onion slices and garlic; sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until softened.
• Then add in sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until just tender (about 5 minutes).
• In another skillet heat a couple tablespoons oil over medium heat.
• Add in the steaks; fry to desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare).
• Transfer the steaks to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Add in the broth and whiskey or brandy to the same skillet that the steaks were fried; bring to a boil and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add in the mushroom mixture; bring to a boil and simmer until the liquid is thick enough to coat the spoon lightly (about 5-6 minutes).
• Add in 1 cup blue cheese; stir until the cheese melts (about 1 minute).
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the sauce over the steaks, then sprinkle with 1/4-1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese.
