Method

Follow these cooking methods/directions:

  1. Combine whiskey, teriyaki sauce, vegetable oil, garlic, honey, chili powder, herbes de Provence and pepper in a large sealable freezer bag. Add steaks to bag, massaging marinade into meat; seal and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.

  2. Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade. Pat steaks dry with paper towel. Grill steaks in a closed barbecue over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) for 6 to 8 minutes for ¾ inch (2 cm) thick steaks, turning twice or more, for medium-rare 145°F (63°C) at the least.

  3. Transfer steaks to cutting board, cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes. Slice thinly on the diagonal to serve.
