Indoor Grilling:
Easy
Bourbon-Glazed Strip Steak

I seldom drink (with my balance, I have enough trouble walking a straight line while sober!), but I finally found a use for what had been an unopened bottle of Ancient Age bourbon I'd received as a gift in the 1970s.
This seasoning and cooking method is also good for ground sirloin patties. I don't marinate the meat first. In fact, I sometimes take the steak or sirloin burger straight from the freezer, but when I do, I grill the meat for about 2 minutes to thaw it before I season it.  

 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 8-ounce strip steak
  • 1 teaspoon bourbon (capful)
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Sea salt
  • Garlic powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Chili powder (optional)

 
Instructions:

Preheat indoor grill, grillpan, or cast iron skillet. (If you're not using a nonstick surface or your cast iron skillet isn't well-seasoned, spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray. The "High Heat Canola Oil Spray" from Spectrum Naturals works well for this.)

Place steak on the grill, or in the grillpan or skillet. Pour the bourbon over the meat, covering all of the top surface of the meat. Sprinkle Worcestershire sauce over the meat. Dust entire top surface with a light coating of sea salt, and a generous amount of garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with a light coating of chili powder. (I use the mild chili powder from The Spice House.)

Cooking until medium rare, about 3-4 minutes on an indoor grill or 2-3 minutes per side in a grillpan or skillet.

Allow meat to rest for several minutes before serving.
