• 4 Garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the bourbon, soy sauce, and olive oil. Stir well to create the liquid base of the marinade.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 5

Place your steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 6

Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, for maximum flavor.

Step 7

Before cooking, remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the used marinade.

Step 8

Cook the steaks to your desired doneness using your preferred method such as grilling, pan-searing, or broiling.
