Bourbon Marinade

This marinaded is great for chicken but can also be used to marinade pork or shrimp. I have also used this with flank steak that I cook on a flat iron and it was okay, but I have other marinades that I think are better for steak. This recipe makes about 1.25 cups of marinade, which is enough for about two pounds of protein.

Ingredients

• 2 oz. Bourbon – the better to bourbon the better the marinade
• 2 oz. Soy sauce
• Dijon mustard – 0.25 cup
• Green onion – finely chopped – 0.25 cup
• Brown sugar – 0.25 cup packed
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• Black pepper to taste

Process

Mise en Place

1. Measure and prepare your ingredients prior to starting.
2. Mix all the ingredients together.
3. If making chicken, pork or steak, marinate overnight in the fridge, shaking occasionally. I like to bast the meat as it grills using the marinade.
4. If making shrimp, marinate for 1 hour. I sometimes add a tsp of starch to help coat the shrimp. Since I usually saute my shrimp, I cook the shrimp in the marinade
