Looking for a perfect grilling recipe for Father’s Day? This whiskey brown sugar marinade from Carla Hall is PERFECTION!
This post is in collaboration with Meijer. All opinions are my own!
The Meijer LPGA golf tournament is coming to Grand Rapids next week and I am SO excited about the special chef events! One of my favorite daytime shows is The Chew and I LOVE Carla Hall. To honor her coming to town next Saturday, I am sharing her Music City Steak recipe. Guys, this is GOOD.
Is there anything better than a perfectly grilled steak? I think not! Treat your dad to a delicious, juicy steak this Father’s Day. You really can’t go wrong with whiskey–especially for Dad’s special day! The marinade of brown sugar, soy and garlic gives this steak and amazing flavor. We were literally fighting over the last bites of this steak–I let Ricky win 🙂
When I’m grilling, I like to cook EVERYTHING on the grill. My favorite trick for items like asparagus or green beans is to make a quick foil packet. Season as normal, then tightly seal a foil “envelope” and the veggies steam perfectly on the grill, while also getting the smoky flavor and grill marks.
- 1/3 cup Whiskey of choice
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1.5 pounds Certified Angus New York Strip Steak from Meijer
-
In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Pour into a zipper lock baggie.
-
Add steak. Marinade 1 hour to overnight in the refrigerator.
-
To grill, remove from marinade. Pat dry.
-
Grill on 4-5 minutes on each side, or to desired temperature.
-
Let steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing into strips.
Adapted from Carla Hall's recipe on The Chew: Music City Steak.
Serve with grilled veggies, such as green beans, asparagus or zucchini.

What’s your favorite grilling recipe? Do you have any big plans for Father’s Day?
I love making potatoes in a foil packet on the grill. That steak looks to die for!
Wow this recipe looks amazing. It combines a few things I never thought about adding to my steak recipe rotation. This includes wine and brown sugar. Thanks for sharing.
My MIL saw your recipe on the “60 BBQ & PICNIC RECIPES” post and she is excited to try it tonight. We have it on the menu plan for later this week.
Yay!! Let me know what you all think! It’s a delish one ?
i have tried your recipe today and it was so so yummy,the ingredients were so balanced and the steak was tendor…thanks alot for sharing
So good to hear that you liked the steak! It’s one of our favorite recipes ?
Ummm….alcohol will cook your meat. Advise no longer than 30 minutes marinade time
It does tenderize the meat, but I haven’t found the whiskey to cook it. Maybe since there isn’t anything acidic paired? Marinade however long you want 🙂
Ashleigh – made these tonight with pork. I’m not a big fan of spicy so I did like maybe 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes.
DELICIOUS! I now have a new favorite pork chops recipe 🙂 and I will definitely try it with steak at some point too. Yum.
YAY! I am SO grabbing some pork chops next week to try!
What kind or brand of whiskey
Any type! I usually use Jack Daniels.
At what temperature should I grill the steaks at for 4-5 minutes on each side?
I like to grill over medium heat on a charcoal grill, usually on the side of the flame. If you have a pellet grill, try around 400º.
Of all the recipes I have gotten from Pinterest this one by far is my favorite. Only thing I changed was, I used Splenda brown sugar instead of regular. The remaining marinade I added some corn starch and made a sauce. Can’t wait to make this again
Question do you think this Marinade would be good with chicken?
My dad is allergic to red meat… it’s so sad. Trying to find new chicken recipes.
