Ingredients
- 2 rib eye steaks
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
- In a bowl, combine bourbon, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, dried thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- Place the rib eye steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are fully coated. Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
- Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier steak.
- Slice the steak against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
- Enjoy!
