I missed cooking. So I stopped JC for the summer and am trying new recipes again.
I got a new grill and we christianed it today by making this BBQ Flank Steak.
The best part about this recipe is it's a whisky flavored BBQ sauce...at least the recipe says it is. But if someone forgets to put the whisky in, then it's just BBQ sauce. I can say without the whisky it's just fine. With it, I'm sure, it'd be fantastic.

1 can cola
3/4 c pineapple juice
1/2 c cider vinegar
1/2 c whiskey
3 T brown sugar
2 T chopped garlic
2 T minced fresh ginger
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1 flank steak
2 T paprika
1 T dried thyme
1 tsp salt
1 tsp grandulated garlic
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp black pepper
For Whiskey BBQ sauce:
1/2 c ketchup
1/2 cup onion
1 jalapneo, seeded and minced
For the marinade, combine cola, pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, chopped garlic, ginger, Worcestershire sauce in a 9X13 baking dish. Score steak and place in a marinade, turning to coat. Cover and chill at least 2 hours, turning half way through.
Remove steak from dish, reserving marinade for Whiskey Cola BBQ sauce. Lightly pat dry.
Preheat grill.
For the spice mix:
combine paprika, thyme, salt, granulated garlic, cayenne and black pepper. Rub spice mix onto steak.
Grill steak to desired doneness.
Meanwhile, make BBQ sauce.
Boil reserved marinade, ketchup, onion and jalapeno in a sauce pan over high heat until thick, about 30 minutes. Strain sauce and discard solids before basting. JW Note: It takes longer than 30 minutes. It took almost an hour for this to reduce down.
