Boozy Beef Steaks

Submitted by Noo8820

"I used to use this recipe in the gastro pub I ran, it used to sell like hot cakes! Use a good quality steak-it makes a difference. I also do this as kebabs if I'm serving it at a large gathering, it works a treat. This is perfect on the barbecue, but equally good just grilled or griddled inside."

I marinated a boneless ribeye for 4 hours, flipping every hour to make sure the seasoning was distributed evenly. I didn't think this was too sweet....it just seemed that something was missing. I absolutely love steaks, and grill every chance I can. Maybe it is a regional thing, but this recipe just didn't make me say wow! So sorry.

I marinated a rib eye and a flank steak in it because I didn't have enough of either to feed the family. I thought that the brandy smelled really strong and was concerned about the end result. No worries! It's delicious and everything turned out perfectly after marinating for 5 hours. Made for PRMR. Thanks Noo! :)

Very nice! When I first mixed the marinade and tasted it, I had my doubts- it was kind of an odd flavor. But I went ahead and added the NY strips, and let them marinate for 4 hours. The result was really wonderful. I used brandy this time, but I'd like to try with Bourbon as well. We all loved this steak, tender, juicy, with a really nice beefy flavor. The marinade just enhanced what what was already in the steak. Thanks for posting!

Loved the flavour in these steaks! We used Bourbon whiskey and Splenda brown sugar blend and didn't find them too sweet after marinating for 2 hours. Thanks for another winner Noo!

I marinated mine 48 hrs, BBQ was delayed by a day. Very tender steaks, and tasty.
