We tried several drunken steak recipes, but the flavor was all over the place-some steaks were barely tipsy while others had us picking a designated driver.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup light rum
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 scallion, minced
1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds), scored on both sides at 1 1/2-inch intervals

Steps:

  • Whisk rum, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic in bowl until sugar dissolves. Transfer 1/4 cup rum mixture to small bowl and stir in scallion; set aside. Place remaining marinade and steak in gallon-size zipper-lock bag. Press air out of bag, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  • Remove steak from bag, pat dry with paper towels, and discard marinade. Grill steak over hot fire until well browned and cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Transfer steak to cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Slice thinly on bias and against grain. Drizzle with reserved rum mixture. Serve.
  • Perfect Drunken Steak
  • Here are three important techniques to ensure boldly flavored steak every time.
  • Using a sharp knife, lightly score both sides of the steak at 1 1/2-inch intervals. This allows the marinade to flavor the meat more deeply.
  • The marinade's sugar content (from the alcohol and the sugar) encourages a crust to form on the steak when it's grilled.
  • Patting the steak dry before cooking further facilitates the formation of the crust.
