Copycat Applebee's Bourbon Street Steak
Description
The recipe begins by mixing steak sauce, bourbon whiskey, honey, prepared mustard, and Cajun seasoning, creating a marinade with smoky and tangy characteristics plus a touch of sweetness and heat. Steaks are added to the marinade in a large dish or sealed bag and refrigerated for at least two hours or overnight to develop penetrating flavor.
Before grilling, steaks are removed from marinade and patted dry to enhance searing. Grilled over medium-high heat for 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway, the steaks develop caramelized exteriors while cooking through to the desired doneness. The marinade is discarded to avoid contamination.
Tips include letting marinated steaks come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking, checking doneness precisely with a thermometer (ranging from 125°F for rare to 160°F for well done), and resting steaks uncovered after cooking to preserve the crust. Slicing against the grain reveals maximum tenderness. Reserving a portion of marinade for brushing in the final minute of grilling can intensify flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup steak sauce A1 recommended, bottled
- 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 40 ounces steak ribeye, round, strip, or chuck steaks (10 ounces each)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients except the steaks in a large baking dish or gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag. Combine well.
- Add the steaks, cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the steaks for 12 to 15 minutes or until the desired doneness, turning them over halfway through the grilling.
Notes
- Allow marinated steaks to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling to promote even cooking.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels before grilling to improve searing and crust formation.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness accurately: 125°F rare, 135°F medium-rare, 145°F medium, 150°F medium-well, 160°F well done.
- Let steaks rest uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking; avoid covering with foil to keep crust crispy.
- Slice steaks against the grain to maximize tenderness.
- Reserve some marinade before adding steaks to brush on them during the last minute of grilling for extra flavor if desired.
