Ingredients

• ½ cup whiskey (Crown Apple)

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

• Kosher salt and black pepper

• ¼ cup olive oil

• 4 cloves garlic, smashed

• Four 8-ounce sirloin medallions.or filet mignon steaks

Directions

1. Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic. Add the steaks, turn a few times to coat with the marinade, and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. 

2. Meanwhile, preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade.

3. Pour the marinade into a small pot and bring it to a boil. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced, making sure the sugar does not burn, to make a glaze and sauce for the steak. 

4. Grill the steaks until an internal temperature reads about 130 degrees, 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with the boiled marinade several times in the last few minutes of grilling time. (If you are cooking the filet mignon steaks, you will need to increase this time to 8 to 10 minutes per side to account for the thicker cut). Transfer to a large plate to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

5. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the steaks and enjoy!
