Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Marinate the steaks for at least one hour, but four hours produces the richest flavor. Pat the steaks dry before grilling to achieve a beautifully caramelized crust. Let the steaks rest after grilling so the juices redistribute throughout the meat. Serve with grilled vegetables, baked potatoes, or a fresh green salad.Wine Advice
A full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon complements the rich bourbon marinade. A smooth Merlot is another excellent choice with this grilled steak.Nutrition values
