GRILLED STEAK WITH WHISKEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Grilling Method: Combo/Medium-High
• Make Whiskey Butter:
• Make Butter at least 3 hours in advance. Combine butter, shallots soaked in Jack Daniels (or other bourbon or whiskey), parsley, Worcestershire, mustard, whiskey, salt, and pepper. Mix well. On a piece of plastic wrap, drop butter in spoonfuls to form a log. Roll butter in plastic wrap and smooth out to form a round log. Refrigerate until hard and easy to slice into round, coin-shaped pieces.
• Prepare Steaks:
• Allow meat to come to room temperature about 15 minutes before grilling.
• Just before grilling, brush both sides of the steaks with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place steaks directly over medium-high heat for about 1 to 2 minutes, just long enough to get good grill marks. Turn steaks and sear the other side. Move steaks to indirect heat and continue cooking for about 7 more minutes for medium rare.
• Remove steaks from the grill, top with a pat of the whiskey butter and allow to rest at least 5 minutes but no longer than 10 before serving.
• Spread the melted butter all over the tops of the steaks and top each with a fresh slice of the whiskey butter and parsley, if desired.

WHISKEY BUTTER ONIONS

Steps:

• In a small skillet saute onions in the butter until slightly softened (but not too limp).
• Add thyme, then stir in the whiskey and Worcestershire Sauce.
• Increase heat to brown onions a bit and cook to the doneness you like (I like them to still be a little on the crisp side; that's also why I slice them on the thicker side).
• Serve immediately.
