KENTUCKY CHARRED OAK STEAK

Category: Beef Steaks

1 1/2 pounds London broil, sirloin or chuck steak, 2-inches thick trimmed
1 cup Kentucky Bourbon
1 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp vinegar (malt, balsamic or wine vinegar)
1 tsp Tabasco sauce (or substitute cayenne)
1/3 cup mustard
1 tbsp mustard seeds (optional)
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder

Mix together all ingredients and pour over the meat in a non-corrosive container. Allow to marinate at least 2 - 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the meat, setting aside the marinade. On a hot gas, charcoal or wood grill, cook about 12 - 15 minutes per side (depending upon thickness) for medium-rare to rare. Increase grilling time for medium or well done.

For a more woody flavor, add wood chips to the fire, a few at a time.

Over a low flame, heat the marinade for about 8 - 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, slice the meat thickly, cutting across the grain and arrange on a platter or on individual plates. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled corn on the cob. Pour marinade over the meat before serving
