Description

Your favorite cut of steak is cooked in a sweet whiskey marinade. Plumped-up raisins add fruity flavor to every bite.

Ingredients

1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup Canadian whiskey (such as Crown Royal®)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 (12 ounce) boneless beef sirloin steaks
1 teaspoon canola oil

Directions

1 Place raisins, whiskey, and brown sugar into a resealable plastic bag.
2 Place steaks into the bag, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 10 to 30 minutes.
3 Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
4 Transfer steaks and marinade to the hot skillet.
5 Remove raisins from the skillet with a slotted spoon once they have plumped, about 5 minutes; set aside.
6 Cook steaks until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
7 Serve the steaks with the raisins.
