Whiskey Pepper Grilled Steak Recipes

WHISKEY GLAZED FLAT IRON STEAKS AND GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic. Add the steaks, turn a few times to coat with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, quarter each potato lengthwise to form wedges and put in a medium pot. Cover with cold water to cover by 1-inch and add salt until the water tastes like sea water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Pour the marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced, making sure the sugar does not burn, to make a glaze and sauce for the steak.
• Grill the steaks until an internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer reads about 130 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with the boiled marinade several times in the last few minutes of grilling time. (If you are cooking the filet mignon steaks, you will need to increase this time to 8 to 10 minutes per side to account for the thicker cut). Transfer to a large plate to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. While the steaks grill, add the potatoes to the grill and grill until well-marked and crispy, turning to grill all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the potato wedges to a bowl.
• Toss the grilled potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, chives, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the garlic cloves from the remaining glaze and serve drizzled over the steaks with the potatoes on the side.

BLACK ANGUS WHISKEY PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Fire up the barbecue.
• In a saucepan or deep skillet, make the whiskey pepper sauce by sautéing the white onions in the butter over high heat.
• In about 3 minutes the onions will begin to turn brown.
• Add 1 cup of the beef stock to the onions.
• Add the cracked black pepper and garlic at this point as well.
• Continue to simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half.
• Add the whiskey, green onion, and remaining 1 cup of beef stock to the sauce and let it simmer over low heat while you prepare the steaks.
• Spread 1/2 teaspoon of cracked pepper over the entire surface of each side of the sirloin steaks and press it into the steaks so that it sticks.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Drop the steaks into the melted butter and sear each side of the steaks for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until brown.
• When the barbecue is good and hot, grill the steaks for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until they are done to your liking.
• Salt the steaks lightly as they grill.
• When the steaks are just about done, combine the cornstarch with the tablespoon of water in a small bowl.
• Stir just until the cornstarch dissolves. Remove the whiskey sauce from the heat and add the cornstarch to it.
• Put the sauce back on the heat and continue to cook on low until the sauce is thickened to the consistency you desire.
• Serve the steak doused with whiskey pepper sauce.

GRILLED STEAK WITH WHISKEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Grilling Method: Combo/Medium-High
• Make Whiskey Butter:
• Make Butter at least 3 hours in advance. Combine butter, shallots soaked in Jack Daniels (or other bourbon or whiskey), parsley, Worcestershire, mustard, whiskey, salt, and pepper. Mix well. On a piece of plastic wrap, drop butter in spoonfuls to form a log. Roll butter in plastic wrap and smooth out to form a round log. Refrigerate until hard and easy to slice into round, coin-shaped pieces.
• Prepare Steaks:
• Allow meat to come to room temperature about 15 minutes before grilling.
• Just before grilling, brush both sides of the steaks with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place steaks directly over medium-high heat for about 1 to 2 minutes, just long enough to get good grill marks. Turn steaks and sear the other side. Move steaks to indirect heat and continue cooking for about 7 more minutes for medium rare.
• Remove steaks from the grill, top with a pat of the whiskey butter and allow to rest at least 5 minutes but no longer than 10 before serving.
• Spread the melted butter all over the tops of the steaks and top each with a fresh slice of the whiskey butter and parsley, if desired.

WHISKEY-PEPPER GRILLED STEAK

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir wine with whisky, garlic, chili flakes, Worcestershire, salt and pepper.
• Lightly brush both sides of steaks with mixture and set aside.
• Set saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally until reduced to about 1/3 cup (75 ml), about 10 minutes.
• Turn heat to low to keep sauce warm.
• Meanwhile, lightly oil grill and preheat barbecue to medium-high.
• Place steaks on barbecue and grill with lid closed, turning once, until meat resists slightly when pressed.
• This will take about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Drizzle with warm whisky sauce.
• Serve immediately.
• PORTION TIP: Many strip loin steaks are 12 oz (375 g) or larger.
• You may wish to grill one, then slice it in half for 2 servings or use the second half to make sandwiches.
