2large steaksI used a bone-in ribeye
1/2tablespoonunsalted butter
Instructions
Combine dressing, whiskey, onion powder, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, and hot sauce in a small bowl.
Place your steaks in a gallon ziploc bag. Pour marinade over the steaks. Seal the bag and smush everything a around, making sure steak are well-coated. Set bag with steaks aside, on the counter (yes at room temp), for 30 minutes to an hour. (I marinated my steaks for 30 mins.)
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with butter. Carefully place steaks on to hot skillet. Cook steaks for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. DO NOT flip more than once. You'll loose that beautiful sear that seals in the juices.
Remove steaks to a large plate, and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Let steaks rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Recipe Notes
This marinade amount works well for two large steaks (ribeye & NY strip) or four smaller filet cuts. If you are making any more steaks than that, you will definitely want to double to recipe.
