Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) sirloin steak
- 0.25 cups whiskey
- 0.25 cups fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whiskey, fresh lemon juice, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Whisk well until the marinade is smooth and thoroughly mixed.
Place the sirloin steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the steaks for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the heat and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Resting ensures the juices are distributed evenly throughout the meat.
Optionally, garnish the steaks with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added touch of freshness and color.
Serve the Whiskey Sour Sirloin with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad. Enjoy!
