Flank steak is one of our favorite meats to grill. This one is marinated in bourbon. It was a huge success and we will be adding this to our repertoire. The other wonderful marinade is my brother-in-law, Russell's Flank Steak, which is also a big crowd pleaser.

Prep: 8 hrs
Cook: 15 mins
Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

½ cup plus 2 Tablespoons soy sauce

½ cup bourbon

3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar

2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 garlic cloves, finely minced

Freshly ground pepper to taste

2 pounds flank steak

—Add to marinade while steak is on the grill

3 Tablespoons butter

1 Tablespoon bourbon

Directions

1Combine first 7 ingredients in a large zipper-style plastic bag, mixing well. Add the steak; seal bag securely, removing as much air as possible, and place in a large bowl. Marinate for 8 hours or overnight in refrigerator, turning occasionally.

2Remove steak from marinade, reserving marinade.

3Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot coals (350 degrees to 400 degrees F / 175 degrees to 205 degrees C) 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until desired doneness, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.

4Add the remaining marinade to a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce by half, then add 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 Tablespoon of bourbon. Remove from heat and serve with the flank steak.

5To serve, slice steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
