Kentucky Bourbon Sirloin Steak Recipes

KENTUCKY BOURBON STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the filet mignon in a bowl. Pour bourbon over steak and marinate for 1 hour. Remove the filet mignon from the bourbon and season with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to a hot saute pan. Sear the filet mignon on all sides, about 1 minute per side. Place the meat in the oven and roast for 15 minutes or until medium rare. Remove the meat from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice the filet in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 18 thin slices so you have a total of 36 slices. In another saute pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced white and red onions. Caramelize the onions until they are deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Slice the baguette into 36 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and the horseradish. Place a piece of filet mignon on each slice of bread. Top with some of the caramelized onions. Place a small amount of the horseradish sour cream on top of the onions. Garnish with parsley.

KENTUCKY BOURBON SIRLOIN STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Put the black peppercorns in a wide, flat dish. Press the steaks into the peppers to coat them on all sides, then season with salt. Set aside.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan over high heat for 1 minute. Add the steaks, two at a time if necessary to avoid overcrowding, and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer each steak to a dinner plate and set aside.
• 3. Add the shallots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat and add the bourbon, then carefully return the pan to the stove over low heat and cook until the bourbon is almost entirely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, raise the heat to high, bring it to a boil, and continue to boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Swirl in the cream and the butter and warm gently.
• 4. Pour some sauce over each steak and serve.

GRILLED SIRLOIN IN BOURBON MARINADE

Steps:

• Prepare marinade ingredients: Pour water, bourbon, soy sauce, honey, dry mustard, and garlic powder into a large zip top bag. Seal bag and lay flat on the counter. Massage the bag with your fingers to dissolve any mustard and garlic powder granules and mix the ingredients.
• Add steak to the bag. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least six hours, turning occasionally.
• Place bag on counter about an hour before grilling. Turn after 30 minutes. Remove steak and discard marinade.
• For 1" steaks, grill about 10 minutes per side, or until about 140-145 degrees. Remove from grill, and cover steaks for about 10 minutes before serving.
• Can serve as steaks, or slice thinly across the grain before serving.
