The Blog's Namesake (Half Cup Whiskey Steak)

Ingredients

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Irish whiskey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced green onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
4 (8 ounce) flat iron steaks

Directions

1) Combine the olive oil, whiskey, soy sauce, green onion, garlic, pepper, parsley, thyme, and rosemary in a large, sealable plastic bag; seal and shake to mix. Add the steaks to the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate for approximately 24 hours. Remove steaks from marinade; discard the marinade. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking.

2) Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

3) Cook the steaks until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before serving.

Additional Notes:

• If you cannot find flat iron steak, you can use skirt steak or any other type of thin steak.
• It's also possible to do this in an oven if a grill is not available. Cook at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes (depending on the temperature that you prefer.)
