A flavorful and tender grilled sirloin steak marinated in a bourbon-based mixture, perfect for any occasion.
Combine water, bourbon, soy sauce, honey, mustard, and garlic powder in a zip-top bag.
Ensure the bag is sealed properly to avoid any leaks during mixing.
Seal the bag and mix the marinade by gently massaging the bag.
Mixing thoroughly ensures all flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the sirloin steak to the bag, seal, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Turn the bag occasionally to ensure the steak marinates evenly.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about an hour.
Allowing the steak to reach room temperature ensures even cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
A properly preheated grill prevents the steak from sticking.
Grill the steak for about 10 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140-145°F.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness without cutting into the steak.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the steak more tender.
Slice the steak thinly across the grain and serve.
Slicing against the grain ensures the steak is tender and easy to chew.
