Mustard And Bourbon Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Make the marinade: Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, carefully add the bourbon and then return to the heat. Simmer until reduced by more than half, about 5 minutes. Pour into a large bowl; whisk in the brown sugar, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool to room temperature.
• Add the steak to the bowl, toss well and let marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 6 hours.
• Soak twelve 8- to 10-inch skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent scorching. Preheat a grill to medium high. Drain the steak, discarding the garlic and thyme. Thread the steak and red onion onto the skewers. Season all over with salt and pepper.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until the onion and steak are well charred, 4 to 7 minutes for medium doneness.

Steps:

• Note: The recipe calls for Grey Poupon peppercorn mustard. As this mustard is not available where I live -- I give the marinade a few good grinds of my peppercorn mill. (anywhere from 1 tsp to 1T).
• Wipe the tenderloin clean with a paper towel. Cut slits into the beef and add the garlic slivers. The amount of garlic used is up to personal preference.
• Combine mustard, bourbon, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, olive oil and garlic in a zip lock bag. Add beef and turn to coat both sides. Chill for several hours or overnight. Note: I have marinated the beef up to 3 days.
• Preheat grill.
• Remove marinade from zip log bag. Reserve marinade. Coat grill with vegetable oil or Pam. Sear beef for 2 minutes on each side. Cover grill and cook 45 - 60 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 150, brushing with reserved marinade occasionally.
• Alow beef to sit for 5 - 10 minutes before carving.
• The reserved marinate can be made into a sauce by combining it with 1 cup sliced mushrooms in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat and cook until heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, for about 1 minute or until the surface of the pan is uniformly hot. Pat the chops dry, and season the chops on one side with salt and pepper. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chops seasoned side down and cook until the chops are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 1 minute more. Season the top side of the chops, and turn the chops over. Continue cooking until firm and an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F, about 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the chops to a plate, tent with foil and set aside to rest.
• Pour off any fat remaining in the skillet. Pull the pan from the heat and carefully add the bourbon. Return the pan to the heat and tip the pan slightly to ignite the alcohol. Cook until reduced by half then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes, then whisk in the mustard and the cream. Simmer the sauce until it coats the back of a spoon, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve with the pork chops.

Steps:

• Make sauce
• Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add green onions, white onions and garlic and sauté until tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in all remaining ingredients, adding bourbon last. Simmer sauce until thick and reduced to 7 cups, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 2 weeks ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Make spice rub and ribs
• Mix first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Rub spice mixture over both sides of rib racks. Arrange ribs on large baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Cut rib racks into 4- to 6-rib sections. Arrange ribs on barbecue. Grill until meat is tender, occasionally turning ribs with tongs, about 40 minutes. Using tongs, transfer ribs to work surface.
• Cut rib sections between bones into individual ribs. Arrange on clean baking sheet. Transfer 3 cups sauce to small bowl; place remaining sauce in small saucepan and reserve. Brush ribs with sauce from bowl.
• Return ribs to barbecue. Place pan of reserved sauce at edge of barbecue to rewarm. Grill ribs until brown and crisp on edges, brushing with more sauce from bowl and turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Serve ribs with warm sauce.
