Simple marinade

My youngest Catherine is in town tonight and I'm cooking flank steak on the grill. Any lean cut of meat like that is always better marinated before you cook it.

There are dozens of store-bought marinades available and hundreds of recipes but here is a simple one that works great on any beef:

1/3 cup of soy sauce
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of bourbon

That's it. Marinate it for a couple of hours in the fridge and let it sit out on the counter for about 1/2 hour or so before you grill it.

This works great for beef tenderloin  and pork tenderloin too.

What am I pouring? With the beef it will be red and with Catherine home it will be something good.
