Flank Steak With Whiskey Sauce

Submitted by JackieOhNo!

"This sauce is an interesting alternative to a typical red wine sauce and adds a depth of flavor that is quite unique. These steaks are great broiled or grilled."

• 1⁄4 cup teriyaki sauce

I made this as written, using a little less than 15 oz. of flank steak. Both 17 yo DS and myself felt the marinade was perfect for our tastes, but then again I am a whimp when it comes to hot & spicy. I used Lawry's teriyaki marinade with pineapple juice. I made 1/2 of the sauce as DS didn't want any sauce and it was a wonderful addition to the steak!! Made for Holiday tag!!

The steak had great flavor from the marinade. My husband liked the sauce alot but I was surprised with the mellow flavor. There was no kick to it for my tastebuds. I will make this again for hubby but will tinker with the sauce a bit.

The marinade for the meat was wonderful. I made my own teriyaki and marinaded for an hour and half. It smelled wonderful as it cooked. My husband loved the sauce and is looking forward to having this again soon. Thank you for the recipe. It's a keeper.
