[Aussie_hunter]

Has anyone ever marinated steak with Jack daniels how do you do it and did it turn out ok?

No i havn't, but i've used the cheapest Bloody Mary mix i could find and it worked well.

Jack Daniels makes a really good marinade in a bag which will work well with chicken or steak!

I have. I don't remember what the steak tasted like but the Jack Daniels was excellent.

You take 2 shots of Jack & then look at your steaks. Repeat several times. It is freaking excellent.

If you want to use a 80 proof spirit as a marinade, one way to do it is to "flash" off most of the alcohol before. Put the marinade together in a saucepan ( Jack, coke, garlic, black pepper, chili paste) for example, cook it on the stove top and use a gas match to flame the alcohol off after it simmers ( careful!), let it cool and then marinate. If you use it straight, reduce your marinade time as the alcohol portion affects the texture of the meat.

I have used Jack Daniel's for chicken and baked beans and steak, but actually like Jim Beam and others better to cook with, just my thought. I find that using garlic and a bit of soy sauce is the best with both chicken and steak, but seems leaving the marinate on no longer than about an hour per side is best.
