Ingredients
Bourbon Chipotle Steak
- ½ cup bourbon
- ¼ cup EACH: ketchup and soy sauce gluten-free if needed
- 1 tablespoon minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 24 ounces steak see notes
Instructions
- Mix the bourbon, ketchup, soy sauce, chipotle peppers, and garlic in a small baking dish just big enough to hold the steaks. Add the steaks and baste them in the marinade. Set them aside on your counter to marinate for 30 minutes - or up to 8 hours in your fridge.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and blot off the marinade with paper towels. Pour the marinade into a small skillet and set it aside.
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat - do not use a non-stick pan or you won't get a nice dark crust on your steak. Add the oil and let it heat just until it is shimmering. Add the steaks and cook for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare or 6 minutes per side for rare. (See notes!) Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for several minutes.
- While the steaks are resting, bring the reserved marinade to a boil and let it boil for 2-3 minutes, until it begins to thicken and becomes a sauce.
- Serve the steak with the bourbon sauce over the top.

Notes
- In the pictures, we used ribeye steaks, but you can use your favorite cut. Thicker steaks are generally easier to cook, which is why we chose two 12-ounce steaks and sliced them to serve 4 people.
- The best way to tell if your steak is cooked properly is to use a meat thermometer and remove it from the pan when it is 5 degrees lower than the temp you want. Remember that steaks continue to cook when they are resting.
- 130 degrees Fahrenheit - medium rare140 degrees Fahrenheit - medium160 degrees Fahrenheit - well done
