Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Sirloin steaks
- 0.5 cup Bourbon
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons (chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
Place the sirloin steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring that all sides are coated. Seal the bag, or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the steaks for at least 2 hours, but for best results, marinate for 6-8 hours or overnight. Turn the steaks occasionally to ensure even marination.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400–450°F or 200–230°C). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for medium-well.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled sirloin steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad. Enjoy!
