I planned to do a marinade for a ribeye steak (wanted to use this recipe with Uncle Nearest 1856 whiskey 100 proof); however, I was going to smoke the steaks after marinading them overnight. Also, after reading the comments, I think it may be a good idea to drop the brown sugar from 1/2 a cup to 3/8 a cup. Any thoughts? Do you think smoking with a reverse searing will work using this marinade?

...My compliments to the chef! We broke down a beef tenderloin into steaks. the only change I really made was to sweat the steaks in a liberal amount of salt, pepper and garlic before transferring to the marinade bath. For the bath, I used the Food Saver marinade attachment...only left it in here for about an hour, and my sweet baby Jesus, it was delicious! JD was what I had on hand, the marinade worked great with beef, given that many of these reflected pork or chicken....just wanted to throw my hat in the ring.....with this.....BEEF...it's what's for dinner! -
Oh YUM -- 1/2 cup of whiskey for the recipe -- 1/2 cup for me!!!! I loved this recipe. But I did cut back the whiskey to 1/4 cup per some of the reviews I read. That seemed perfect to me. I can see where any more might have made it a little on the strong side. I used some skirt steaks -- not a great cut of meat, but they were so flavorable. Next time, I'll use some flank steak. This is a great marinade -- and I thank you for sharing it with me.

Used on pork. I think I would have been better off with chicken. Not that this isn't good (it is) but the flavor of the alcohol was a bit much with only 4 hours marinade time. Next time I will use a little less whiskey and brown sugar. But overall this is very good. -
OMG! This is the best marinade recipe ever! I love whiskey and to find a recipe that used it was great! I soaked a quartered pork sirloin roast for about 4 hours and made it on the grill...heaven! I had quite a bit of marinade left over so I soaked 4 boneless chicken breasts for over a day and made them on the grill and they rocked too! The combo of the brown sugar and whiskey really compliment each other! My wife doesn't care for whiskey as much. She had one piece of chicken that was a little thinner than the others and the whiskey flavor was a little stronger in that piece (I did taste it for myself just to check.) We loved it and will use this one again and again! Maybe next time we'll do steak. Great recipe Alice! -
don't think "any brand" works here. I used Jack Daniels and the meat turned out so sweet I couldn't finish the chicken. Other ingredients go well together but my next try will be with Scotch and half the sugar.

<p>Hello!! <br />I live in Western Kentucky and work for a Private Label Food Company. We make cookies, crackers, sauces, spreads, drink mixes and nuts. Lots of good things. I travel for my job, so my time is limited in the kitchen at home. <br /><br />Recipezaar is one of my favorite sites. It is a treat for me to find a new recipe and try it out. <br /><br />You can see from my recipe reviews that I switch from yummy high fat treats to lower calorie meals. I have to watch it. Too many of the treats are a no no. (ha ha ) <br /><br />When trying a posted recipe, I make it just as posted. One of my pet peeves on this site is reviewers that change the recipe and ingredients and then give it a bad rating. <br /><br />I have one son. He is 11 years old. He occasionally helps me in the kitchen. His favorite foods are Italian and classic American Diner.</p>
