Boozy Beef Steaks


Grilling season has officially started at the Meyer household with our new charcoal grill. A little bit of a learning curve on cuts of meat, right temperature to cook the meat at, as well as best marinade. I used sirloin petite steaks for this recipe, but I definitely will experiment with other cuts of meat. I also will marinade longer next time to increase the flavor. Hope you enjoy!
  • 4 beef steaks
  • 4 tbsp whisky or brandy
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • pepper
  • parsley to garnish
  • garlic bread, to serve
  1. Make a few cuts in the edge of the fat on each steak. This will prevent the meat from curling as it cooks. Place the meat in a shallow, nonmetallic dish.
  2. Mix the whiskey, soy sauce, sugar, and pepper to taste together in a small bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Pour the mixture over the steak. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  3. Preheat the grill. Cook the beef steaks over hot coals, searing the meat over the hottest part of the grill for 2 minutes on each side.
  4. Move the meat to an area with slightly less intense heat and cook for an additional 4-10 minutes on each side depending on how degree of doneness.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and serve with garlic bread.
