How to Make All Around Marinade

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Ensure everything is well combined.
  2. Add your steaks or prepared kabobs (vegetables and meat) to the marinade. Make sure all pieces are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Soak Jack Daniel's wood chips in water for 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare your grill for medium-high heat. Add soaked wood chips to the coals 3 minutes before grilling.
  5. Grill steaks to your desired doneness, basting frequently with the marinade. For kabobs, grill until the meat is cooked through and vegetables are tender, basting regularly.
  6. Remove from grill, let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
