Sugar Steak with Bourbon

Katy Keck, a culinary advisor, educated me about sugar steak, a dish entirely foreign to me. What, it’s probably you’ll admire never heard of it both? Factual. Time for us all to compile up to speed.

Sugar steak is extraordinarily grand what it sounds adore: steak that is blanketed with a sugar rub and grilled. Katy, who got her recipe for it by surveying the cooks on the Spring Lake Yacht Club shut to Lake Michigan, talked about, “Some employ sirloin, some employ rib-respect, I admire even archaic CAB prime round –- most agree whatever is cheapest. Also some employ white sugar, some employ brown, some employ each and each.” She uses darkish brown sugar.

Katy has also near up with a idiot-proof formulation. “I admire a Weber-performer and don’t employ the lid on this, nor am I stingy with charcoal,” she talked about. “It’s definitely spectacular whenever you happen to compile 3 steaks going accurate away (entire 14 kilos of meat), though I almost location the porch roof on fire. Rip-snorting is the official temperature for the grill.”
