Ingredients

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup whiskey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

In a bowl, combine the whiskey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
Place the ribeye steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure both sides of the steaks are coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Brush the steaks with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired doneness.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This will help keep the steak juicy.
Serve the whiskey steaks hot, with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Interesting Facts

Whiskey not only adds a unique smoky flavor to the steak but also helps to tenderize the meat. The alcohol in the whiskey breaks down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more tender steak.

Marinating the steak for at least 2 hours allows the flavors to fully infuse into the meat, enhancing its taste and tenderness.

Grilling the steaks over medium-high heat ensures a delicious caramelized crust on the outside while maintaining a juicy and tender center.

You can use different types of whiskey to experiment with flavors. For a sweeter taste, opt for bourbon, while a smokier flavor can be achieved with a peaty scotch.
