Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 2 ribeye steaks (10–12 oz each)
  • Salt, kosher or sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or neutral oil for brushing
  • 1.5 lbs baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Bourbon Glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Stir until sugar dissolves, then simmer gently for 10-12 minutes until glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss halved baby Yukon Gold potatoes with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and toss gently.
  3. Prepare the Steaks: About 15 minutes before grilling, remove steaks from fridge to come to room temperature. Pat dry, season generously with salt and pepper, and lightly brush with oil.
  4. Grill the Steaks: Preheat grill to medium-high (450°F). Grill steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. During last 2 minutes, brush bourbon glaze on both sides, allowing it to caramelize but not burn. Use instant-read thermometer to check doneness and remove steaks a few degrees before target temperature.
  5. Rest and Serve: Transfer steaks to a plate, loosely cover with foil, and rest for 5-7 minutes. Serve bourbon-glazed steak with garlic butter potatoes. Spoon any extra glaze over steak.

Notes

Keep an eye on the glaze while grilling to prevent burning. Rest steaks after grilling to redistribute juices. For dairy-free potatoes, substitute butter with olive oil. Use a reliable meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Do not overcrowd potatoes on baking sheet for crispy edges.
