Ingredients

2 pounds boneless top sirloin steak
¼ cup bourbon whiskey
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Cut sirloin into serving sized pieces and place in a gallon sized plastic storage bag.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the whiskey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, and brown sugar. Pour over the sirloin; seal the bag and turn it over a few times to distribute marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours.
Season the marinated steaks with pepper. Grill over MEDIUM heat for 7 to 8 minutes per side. Cook until steak reaches an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F for medium-rare or 135 to 140 degrees F for medium. Time will vary depending on thickness of steaks.
Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Rare (very red-pink): 125-130 degrees F
Medium Rare (pink): 130-135 degrees F
Medium (light pink): 135-140 degrees F
Medium-Well: 140-150 degrees F
Well-Done: 155 degrees F or above

Insert a meat thermometer at least a ½-inch deep in the thickest portion of the steak for an accurate measurement. Remember that the internal temperature will rise a bit after the steak is removed from the grill so it's best to shoot for the lower end of the range of the desired doneness.
