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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400–450°F or 200–230°C). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the steaks from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve the grilled sirloin steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad. Enjoy!
