Ingredients

• 2 8-ounce pieces Sirloin steak
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Bourbon whiskey
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, bourbon whiskey, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the sirloin steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor absorption.

Step 3

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before cooking. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, carefully place the steaks into the skillet. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cook time to your desired doneness.

Step 5

Add the butter to the skillet and baste the steaks by spooning the melted butter over their tops as they finish cooking. This step enhances the flavor and juiciness of the steaks.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish the steaks with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Bourbon Street Steaks hot, pairing them with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, sautéed vegetables, or steamed rice.
