**Savor the tantalizing flavors of Bourbon Beef, a delectable dish that can be effortlessly prepared on your grill or under the broiler.**
Indulge in the classic grilled version, where the beef strips marinate in a savory blend of bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce, infusing them with a rich and smoky flavor. Alternatively, experience the convenience of the broiled variation, where the beef strips are coated in a flavorful marinade of bourbon, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, resulting in a tender and juicy dish. Both methods deliver a mouthwatering experience that will leave you craving more.
GARLICKY, SMOKY GRILLED LONDON BROIL WITH CHIPOTLE CHILES
No matter if you broil, pan-sear or grill it, like most economical cuts, London broils want to stay rare and juicy and a little chewy to show off its best side. Cooked through until completely brown, these steaks toughen and dry up. Warning to well-done steak lovers: You might want to buy a different hunk of beef.

Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk together the chipotle, honey and garlic. Whisk in the oil.
- Season the steak all over with the salt. Pat the meat evenly with the chipotle mixture and let rest for at least an hour at room temperature, or as long as overnight in the refrigerator. If you've chilled it, let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
- Light the charcoal or preheat the grill. Brush off any bits of garlic or chile from the meat and grill, covered, until the meat is charred on the outside and done to taste inside, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the meat rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

BOURBON BEEF GRILL OR BROIL
I love grilled and broiled beef, but sometimes I have to buy a really tough piece of meat because of the expense. This marinade will make a tough piece of meat enjoyable, as long as you let it soak for at least 8 hours. Great taste, and uses things you normally have in your pantry. Prep time does not include marinating time!!

Steps:
- Combine the first 7 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Place steak in a large shallow dish or in a zip lock bag. Pour marinade mixture over the steak; cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours. If you put it into a bag, squeeze the excess air out so the marinade is touching the steak all over.
- Take the steak out of the refrigerator an hour before preparing so the meat can relax and absorb the flavors.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, reserving marinade. Sprinkle with black pepper if desired. If broiling, place on a rack in a broiler pan. Broil 5 1/2 inches from the heat for 5 minutes (if electric, leave the door open). Turn; brush with marinade. Broil an additional 4 to 6 minutes or to desired doneness. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Slice steak diagonally across grain into slices to serve. If grilling, prepare charcoal and once your coals are medium high, place the steak on the grill. Grill for 4 minutes with the cover on the grill. Remove the cover and flip the steak. Grill for another 4 minutes, or until the meat reaches desired doneness. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, a flank steak or skirt steak works best. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for grilling or broiling.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in the bourbon marinade for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to sear the meat and lock in the juices. If you are grilling the beef, cook it over direct heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the beef reaches your desired doneness.
- Let the beef rest before slicing: Letting the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the beef with your favorite sides: This recipe pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
This bourbon beef recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The bourbon marinade tenderizes the beef and infuses it with flavor, while the high heat cooking method creates a perfectly seared steak. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
