"Bourbon has it own characteristic flavor that adds a nice flavor to these T-Bones. Make sure the steaks are at room temperature before grilling. This helps keep them tender. You can make the sauce ahead of time and reheat when it is time to serve. The preparation time includes 2 hours to let the rub set in. I prefer to have it done the night before to save time the next day."

ingredients

three pepper rub
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt (I prefer sea salt)
4 beef t-bone steaks (about 1 1/2)
bourbon steak sauce
1 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons Bourbon
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Tabasco sauce (1 or 2 dashes)
salt
wood chips, soaked for 30 minutes and drained

directions

"Rub".
Mix together the black and white pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and salt in a small bow.
Sprinkle the rub generously on both sides of the steaks and press it into the meat.
Cover and let sit, turning occasionally for up to 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
If refrigerated, remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
"Steak Sauce".
Put the stock in a small saucepan over high heat and boil until reduced by half.
In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch into the bourbon.
Remove the stock from the heat and whisk in the mustard, tomato paste, cornstarch mixture, and Tabasco.
Taste and season with salt.
Set aside.
"Wood Chips".
Soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes and drain well, (you can add spices or herbs, mesquite, hickory, alder, apple, and pecan. Woody herbs such as rosemary, oregano, thyme, and dried basil stems can be used on their own or blended. Sometimes herbs can be purchased in a bag the size of a tea bag, for a mess free addition to a fire).
If using on a charcoal grill, add them directly to the coals while the food cooks, timing the addition so the flavor of the smoke enhances but does not dominate the steak.
If using a gas grill use a small, vented metal smoker box into which the soaked chip may be put for placing directly over burners.
You can also make a small packet of chips using heavy-duty aluminum foil. Perforate the top of the packet with a fork an place the packet directly on the burners.

I live in Ontario and work full time as a consultant in IT for a communication company in another province. I create test cases and scripts and initiate the testing for the software changes that the programmers make to the company’s various programs. I have the pleasure of working from my home and dialling into their network. I also sell Avon for fun. I met my husband (Paul) on a blind date. We dated 3 years and have been married for 25 years. We have two children a son(age 20) and a DD(age 17). We have been blessed with the best two kids anyone could ask for. DH is a commerical airline pilot and currently is a "Check Pilot" on the A320. He is away quite a bit, so when he comes home I try to make sure he has a decent meal. He eats out when on the road so he really enjoys a good home cooked meal when he arrives home, while the rest of us want to go and eat out. I love to spend time in my garden, travel and try new recipes. DH and I love to travel or just spend time at a cottage in the summer. I have not been on a cruise but hope to within the next 2 years (maybe for our 25th wedding anniversary.) We pretty much eat anything. DH especially loves seafood (more than I do.) while I prefer to eat chicken. We are so predicable when ordering our meal at a restaurant. Next, I think it would have to be Italian and then something spicy like Thai or Indian. My family loves Indian food but I have never had the courage to make it. Maybe I will someday. I like to read true stories and criminal books. David Baldacci is one of my favourite authors. My favorite restaurant is "Bin 23", "Einsteins Cafe," "Abberfolye Mill" My brother sent me the link to Recipezaar and now I am hooked trying new recipes every day. I don't think I will buy another cook book. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/37305/candyswap.jpg"> <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg"> <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2232760&c=6698593" alt="frontpage widget"></a><a href="http://www.4computercoupons.com">Buy Laptop</a> <a href="http://www.4computercoupons.com/dell-coupons.html">Computer</a>
