(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lbs. flank steak, pricked with a fork
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 4 small sweet potatoes
  • 2 bunches broccolini, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, plus butter for topping

Directions

  1. Put the steak in a Ziploc bag along with the garlic, 2 tbsp. bourbon, the brown sugar, Worcestershire, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper. Rub the marinade into the steak and refrigerate, 6-12 hours.

  2. Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the steak from the marinade; pour the marinade into a small saucepan, discarding the garlic. Add 2 tbsp. water and the remaining 2 tbsp. bourbon. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave until soft, 5-7 minutes.

  3. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Toss the broccolini with the melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak, turning once, 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare, and the sweet potatoes, turning, until charred, 15 to 18 minutes. Once the steak is done, grill the broccolini, turning, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

  4. Thinly slice the steak and divide among plates; spoon the reduced marinade on top. Serve with the broccolini and sweet potatoes; top the sweet potatoes with butter.
