Irish Whisky Steak

Ingredients

Serves: 4 (just increase slightly for 6)

160ml extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Irish whisky
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced spring onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
4 (200g) steaks (T-bone, sirloin, rump, etc.)

1. Combine the olive oil, whisky, soy sauce, onion, garlic, pepper, parsley, thyme and rosemary in a large, sealable plastic bag; seal and shake to mix. Add the steaks to the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Remove steaks from marinade; discard the marinade. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking.

2. Preheat the barbecue for medium-high heat and lightly oil the cooking grate.

3. Cook the steaks until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the centre, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read 60 degrees C. Cover the meat with two layers of aluminium foil and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before serving.

Will definitley try you recipe Coff, sounds delicious, but i meant which grill size the 46cm or the 56cm as im going to buy one tomorrow and not sure which size to get. thanks

A few points:

1. The volume of a Weber kettle is proportional to the cube of the diameter; in other words dV/dD = KD². So an increase from the 47cm model to the 57 cm model needs roughly 50% more charcoal...and a 67 cm model needs twice as much charcoal as a 47 cm model.

2. How greedy are your 6?

3. How often will you be feeding 6? Having a larger than necessary barbi' will be a real pain if you just want to cook a meal for 1 or 2.

Half a dozen 8 oz steaks will easily fit on a 47cm Weber. Anything else you can cook in shifts whilst having a drink.

Much as I like my ladies! Moist and pink in the centre, but with no blood...:eek:.

Go Weber Gas - and all of the above technical problems go away!

It really is soooooo easy!!

And tastes just as good!!

Thanks BEagle, i will go and get the 47cm Weber tomorrow cant wait, bring on the sunshine:)

spooky3, don't be tempted to the vile fuel made from the bottled breath of Satan's backside. Your food will NOT taste the same if cooked using gas!!

Whichever size of charcoal version you end up buying, make sure you buy the 'One Touch Premium' model.

Will do BEagle:ok:, can you tell me the advantages of the one touch premium over the compact basic model, never fancied that smelly unnatural gas stuff:=

Spooky3 ... Pictures will be required :ok:

Coff pictures will be forthcoming and me and the wife have decided that your recipe will be the one to christen the new Barbie:ok:

I've never really considered the 'compact' model, so cannot comment - although it's a bit too shallow to cook a chook or a joint of meat, I gather. The 'One Touch Premium' has the excellent ash-catcher which makes cleaning out the ash much easier. It also has a hinged cooking grate (if you need to add more coals, you can do so without needing to take the grate off) and a thermometer in the lid.

But I'm sure they're all fine; last year the advice I had was that the 'Premium' was worth the extra cost and having had both, I agree.

Some more info. here: The Weber BBQ specialists. We know everything about Weber BBQs - WoW BBQ .

We're getting a bit close to laying ourselves open to accusations of advertising, but this should help you to decide.

Thank you BEagle for your advice and i will take it, very good of you to take the time to get the link and i appreciate it thanks, off out tomorrow to purchase a Weber 47cm 1 touch premium, photos to follow:D Thanks.

Was out at a local garden centre last weekend as it was a BBQ weekend including demonstrations by some black orb specialists. They were using both charcoal and gas so took the opportunity to ask...which is better?

They said that at their HQ they did a blind taste test of food cooked using gas and charcoal......the answer

No one could tell the difference between the cooking methods.

Oh yes and whilst there....a Typhoon flew overhead followed 5 minutes later by a Hurricane.

spooky3, enjoy your Weber!

You should find assembly reasonably straightforward, although persuading the ash catcher retainer to clip into the leg supports can be a bit of a faff until you work out how to do it.

CS - how dare you! It's Irish Whiskey Steak!!!

Multicultural me :E

Not my fault the Irish use a random "e" ... :p

Here you go
