Bourbon And Brown Sugar Flank Steak Recipes

BOURBON AND BROWN SUGAR MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot grill fire. Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, bourbon, sugar, mustard, and hot sauce in a large zip-top bag. Seal and shake to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar. Add the steak to the bag, seal, massage to cover the steaks with marinade, and set aside for 15 to 20 minute at room temperature.
• When the grill is ready, remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess, but don't pat it dry. Reserve the marinade. Grill the steak until good sear marks appear, 3 to 4 minute With tongs, rotate the steak 90 degrees (to get a crosshatch of grill marks) and continue grilling until grill marks form and the edges are a little crisp, another 3 to 4 minute Flip the steak and grill the other side in the same way until the exterior is nicely seared and the steak is cooked to your liking, 10 to 12 minute total cooking time for medium rare. Let the steaks rest for about 5 minute.
• Meanwhile, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and boil over medium-high heat until syrupy, about 3 minute (watch carefully to prevent burning). For flank steak, slice the meat thinly across the grain. For strip steaks, slice thickly or serve in chunks. Serve with a drizzle of the sauce.

BOURBON GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Put the steak in a resealable plastic bag along with the garlic, 2 tablespoons bourbon, the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Rub the marinade into the steak and refrigerate, 6 to 12 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the steak from the marinade; pour the marinade into a small saucepan, discarding the garlic. Add 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 2 tablespoons bourbon. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Season the steak with salt and pepper. Toss the broccolini with the melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak, turning once, 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare, and the sweet potatoes, turning, until charred, 15 to 18 minutes. Once the steak is done, grill the broccolini, turning, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak and divide among plates; spoon the reduced marinade on top. Serve with the broccolini and sweet potatoes; top the sweet potatoes with butter.
