BOURBON BEEF GRILL OR BROIL
I love grilled and broiled beef, but sometimes I have to buy a really tough piece of meat because of the expense. This marinade will make a tough piece of meat enjoyable, as long as you let it soak for at least 8 hours. Great taste, and uses things you normally have in your pantry. Prep time does not include marinating time!!

Steps:
- Combine the first 7 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well. Place steak in a large shallow dish or in a zip lock bag. Pour marinade mixture over the steak; cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours. If you put it into a bag, squeeze the excess air out so the marinade is touching the steak all over.
- Take the steak out of the refrigerator an hour before preparing so the meat can relax and absorb the flavors.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, reserving marinade. Sprinkle with black pepper if desired. If broiling, place on a rack in a broiler pan. Broil 5 1/2 inches from the heat for 5 minutes (if electric, leave the door open). Turn; brush with marinade. Broil an additional 4 to 6 minutes or to desired doneness. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Slice steak diagonally across grain into slices to serve. If grilling, prepare charcoal and once your coals are medium high, place the steak on the grill. Grill for 4 minutes with the cover on the grill. Remove the cover and flip the steak. Grill for another 4 minutes, or until the meat reaches desired doneness. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
PERFECT GRILLED STEAK
For juicy meat and a great crust, choose a thicker cut such as rib eye. Because this type of steak takes longer to cook, it will have time to develop a nice sear.

Steps:
- Directions
- Marinate the steaks in olive oil for at least 30 minutes. Drain off the oil - leaving a light film of oil on the steaks - and salt the steaks on both sides. Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over a high setting. When hot add the steaks and char on one side. Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking for about 3 minutes for medium rare. Turn the steaks with tongs and turn up the heat to high. Be careful not to cut into the steaks while turning so that you don't lose any of the juices. Sear the second side of the steaks, then turn the heat to medium and cook for another 3 minutes to medium rare. Add 2 to 3 minutes per side for well-done steaks. Serve with a green salad, Aji Asado (roasted marinated peppers), and Papas al Horno (roasted potatoes).
- Variations:
- If using an electric oven broiler, char one side of the steaks on a high broil on a preheated broiler pan with the rack as close as possible to the broiler element. When browned, turn steaks with tongs and brown the other side. Total cooking time with this method is about 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Less time is required for gas broilers and outdoor charcoal barbecues. If using the latter, char meat directly on a rack over very hot coals on the hottest part of the barbecue, then move the meat to a cooler area of the rack over the drip pan leaving the barbecue lid open about one inch. Return the meat to the hotter area to char the second side and then move it back over the drip pan.

Steps:
- Prepare the coals or a gas grill for direct heat. Heat to medium heat, which will take about 40 minutes for charcoal or about 10 minutes for a gas grill.
- Cut outer edge of fat on steaks (except tenderloin steaks) diagonally at 1-inch intervals with a sharp knife. Do not cut into the meat because it will allow the juices to cook out and the beef will become dry.
- Place the beef on the grill rack over medium heat. Cover the grill; cook 6 to 8 minutes for rib eye, 10 to 12 minutes for porterhouse and T-bone or 13 to 15 minutes for sirloin and tenderloin, turning beef once halfway through cooking, until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in center of thickest part reads 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium doneness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: For grilling or broiling, choose a cut of steak that is at least 1 inch thick. This will help to ensure that the steak cooks evenly and stays juicy.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs is a good place to start.
- Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking: This helps to ensure that the steak cooks evenly. Take the steak out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to cook it.
- Preheat your grill or broiler: Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat before cooking the steak. This will help to sear the steak and lock in the juices.
- Cook the steak to your desired doneness: The cooking time for a steak will vary depending on the thickness of the steak and the desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 5-6 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for about 6-7 minutes per side. For a medium-well steak, cook for about 7-8 minutes per side.
- Let the steak rest before serving: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
Conclusion:
By following these tips, you can cook a delicious and juicy grilled or broiled steak at home. With a little practice, you'll be able to cook a steak that is perfect for any occasion. So fire up your grill or broiler and get cooking!
