Instructions
1
Start by preparing the marinade: In a large zip-top bag, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup bourbon, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
2
Seal the bag and massage it gently with your fingers to dissolve the mustard and garlic powder, ensuring an even mix of ingredients.
3
Add the sirloin steaks to the bag, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Seal the bag again and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, turning it occasionally to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
4
Remove the steaks from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about an hour before grilling. Discard the marinade.
5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the steaks on the grill, cooking them for approximately 10 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 140-145°F for medium-rare.
6
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Let them rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7
Serve the steaks whole, or for a different presentation, slice them thinly across the grain and serve with your favorite sides or as a filling for sandwiches.
