Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ribeye steak (1-inch thick)
• 60 ml Whiskey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Whole black peppercorns, freshly cracked
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the whiskey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and olive oil. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Rub the steaks generously with salt on both sides and place them in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

Step 3

Pour the whiskey marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the dish (or seal the bag) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, turning the steaks halfway through marinating.

Step 4

Before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This helps ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F). Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Press the cracked black pepper into both sides of the steak for a flavorful crust.

Step 7

Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for approximately 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
