Maple Bourbon Steak Marinade is an easy way to get a jumpstart on dinner.  Start marinating the steak the night before or in the morning.  Bourbon gets blended with maple syrup to add balance and a touch of sweetness to the marinade. Round out the recipe with a few other common ingredients like Soy Sauce and garlic. Pop it in the fridge to marinate and it’s ready to cook when you are.

Why Marinate Maple Bourbon Steak?

Marinating Steak or another meat is a great way to get flavor into the protein of choice. Marinating ingredients consist of an acidic or enzymatic ingredient. Acidic ingredients would be ingredients such as vinegar, citrus juice and wine. Examples of enzymatic foods would be pineapple and ginger. Those ingredients are combined with oil, herbs and other flavors. Marinating the maple bourbon steak tenderizes the meat (or other protein) which allows the flavors of the marinade to absorb into the meat.

The following side dishes go great with maple bourbon steak.

• Grilled Caprese Salad
• Easy Sautéed Green Beans
• Kale and Brussel Sprout Salad
• Corn and Avocado Salad
• Crazy Good Mashed Potatoes

If you have leftover Maple Bourbon Steak turn it into Beef Hash for a hearty breakfast or breakfast for dinner night.
