Method

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, pineapple juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until well blended and the mustard is fully incorporated.

  2. Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade into the bag, removing any excess air before sealing it. Marinate the steaks in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  4. Remove the steaks from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

  5. Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until they are beginning to firm up and are hot and slightly pink in the center. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak to ensure it reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness. Flip the steaks once during cooking and shift them twice to create diamond patterns.

  6. If you prefer a glazed steak, consider using a garlic butter mop just before removing the steaks from the grill. This will give them a steakhouse appearance when serving to your guests.

  7. Keep in mind that the nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of marinade ingredients, but the actual amount consumed will vary.
