Skirt Steak Crostini
Whiskey Marinated London Broil
It’s Summer and there’s beef on the grill!
Where can you go wrong?
You will love this marinade as it really penetrates the meat and makes a great gravy afterwards!
We use a whiskey here but you can also use bourbon… the bourbon adds a subtle smokiness to the meat and is awesome as well
We are starting with 1 top round London broil
I like to gently score the London broil to allow a deeper penetration of flavor from the marinade
Score through the width
Then score through the length
Be sure not to cut too deep
Flip and repeat on the other side
Now lets make the marinade
We will need 1/2 cup of whiskey (this recipe is exact, so if you pour say, 3/4 cup of whiskey, I personally recommend you drink it back down to 1/2 cup… lol)
Next up is 1/2 cup of Worcestershire Sauce, 1/4 cup of Soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of Gravy Master, 1 tablespoon of whole black peppercorns, 2 grated garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon each of kosher salt and ground black pepper
You can soak the peppercorns in water for 1/2 hour or more to soften and reduce potency or just put them in as is for some kick
Place all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk together
Place the meat in a resealable baggie, pour in the marinade, force the air out and seal
Marinate for a couple of hours or overnight (which would be better)
Drain the marinade into a pot and bring to a rapid boil, add 1 cup of stock, this will make a great base for the gravy
You can use whatever stock you prefer, we used our Homemade Beef Stock
Let the gravy base reduce while you grill the meat
Before grilling the meat, let it rest and come up to room temperature
I get the grill up to about 375 F on indirect heat, meaning the burners are on/off/on, so it is acting more like an oven
I start the meat off on the first side for about 5 minutes
Then turn the meat (not flip) and cook for another 4 minutes
Flip the meat and cook another 3 – 4 minutes or until a thermometer registers 150 F
Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing
While the meat rests, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small pan, then whisk in around 1/4 cup of flour
Cook until the mixture is lightly browned
Whisk this into the gravy to thicken it
Serve the steak with some of the whiskey gravy!
Enjoy!!!
