Rib Roast With Bourbon Marinade
Description
This bourbon-marinated beef roast offers a deep, savory flavor profile enhanced by sweet and tangy notes. The marinade penetrates the meat during a long refrigeration period, ensuring tenderness and moisture. Perfect for summer barbecues or special weekend dinners, this dish delivers restaurant-quality results at home. The combination of bourbon, soy sauce, and aromatics creates a complex crust when grilled over medium coals. Serve with simple sides to let the bold flavors of the beef shine through.Ingredients
Directions
-
Pierce the beef roast several times on both sides using a fork to help the marinade penetrate the meat.
-
In a shallow glass dish, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, vegetable oil, pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic until the sugar is dissolved.
-
Place the beef roast in the dish and turn it to coat evenly with the marinade.
-
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, turning the beef occasionally to ensure even flavor absorption.
-
Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and reserve the marinade in a small saucepan.
-
Bring the reserved marinade to a boil in the saucepan, then simmer for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria from contact with raw meat. Remove from heat and set aside for basting.
-
Preheat a grill for medium heat, arranging coals so the grill grate is 4-5 inches above the heat source.
-
Place the beef on the grill and cook for 30-35 minutes for medium doneness, turning frequently.
-
Brush the beef with the boiled marinade several times during the last 10 minutes of grilling to build a flavorful glaze.
-
Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
