Drunken Rib-Eye Steak



Since I am on the subject of beef recipes done in the manner of the Frugal Gourmet; i.e., prepared with care and using ordinary ingredients, here is a favorite of mine that is easy to prepare using a good bourbon (come on, I know you have that laying around somewhere!). The steaks will need to marinade at least 4 hours, but will cook quickly.

2-4 rib-eye steaks
2/3 cup bourbon whiskey
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp Liquid Smoke
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Place steaks in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over. Push out excess air and seal. Let set in refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours. 8 would be better and overnight best. Discard the marinade and place steaks on a prepared medium high outdoor grill. Grill each side 2-3 minutes for medium, making a quarter turn about half way for great grill marks. Turn once and repeat procedure. Remove and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with baked beans and grilled corn for a genuine Western meal.
