How to Make Kentucky Steak Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, bourbon, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Add the steaks to a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  6. Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
