Recipe Whiskey Marinaded Steak Bites

[The Late Night Gourmet]

I wanted to make beef stew, so I bought a pack of stewing beef, salted and peppered it, and refrigerated it for cooking later. She saw the bag, and thought I was planning to grill steak. I told her I had planned to make beef stew...I would have added red wine. But, we already have a recipe for beef stew in this recipe challenge. And, she really wanted grilled steak. Home cooks need to be adaptable, and I do have whiskey, so I made a marinade instead.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup whiskey
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup finely chopped green onion
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• ground black pepper to taste
• 2 pounds steak
• oil

Directions

1. Cut steak in large chunks. Whisk remaining ingredients together. Place steak chunks in a bag with marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

2. Heat a cast iron pan to medium temperature. Spread a layer of oil in the pan, and stir some of the marinade in, Place beef chunks in the pan, Cook to desired temperature, and serve immediately.

Looks good!
I'm just confused about the cut of meat..
You didn't use your stewing beef? Or do you make a stew with steak?

Yum. Sounds like a teriyaki marinade.

I'm not sure if this is how stewing beef is sold in other parts of the world, but this is similar to the pack I picked up:

To be honest, I've usually just used sirloin, but this was already trimmed and portioned, and I wanted to save some time. "Stewing beef" is a selection of cuts of chuck or round steak, but it can include sirloin. The marinade helped soften the meat.

Not to be confused with Stewie Griffin:

That looks like quick fry beef to me.
Out stewing beef is mixed cut or blade/chuck or so. More fat, some gristle
