BOURBON BBQ SAUCE



Bourbon BBQ Sauce image

If you like whiskey, you'll love this bourbon BBQ sauce. It's perfectly sweet, a little smoky, and generously flavored with bourbon. Bonus that it takes only 25 minutes to make and is easily made refined sugar-free.

GRILLED STEAK WITH BOURBON SAUCE



Grilled Steak with Bourbon Sauce image

A gourmet meal that will have your friends talking. The herbs and bourbon sauce give this steak a wonderful flavour. I barbequed my steak but the recipe tells you to cook in the oven. If you are using dried herbs the prep time is considerably less. I like to use fresh herbs to bring out the flavour. Serve this with garlic and paramasen mashed potatoes and a green salad. I found this gem in a Food and Drink Magazine the local liquor store gives out.

ED'S BOURBON SAUCE FOR GRILLED MEAT



Ed's Bourbon Sauce for Grilled Meat image

We smoke-grilled a Boston butt all day long and served this sauce with the meat. It was fabulous. The best Easter dinner served with roasted sweet potatoes, and spinach sauteed with garlic. We have in our freezer roasted garlic previously frozen in ice cube trays and popped out into ziploc bags. We do this after crawfish boils. If you've ever been to a crawfish boil you'd understand. Our dry rub consists of cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, salt and pepper.
