Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 60 grams finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • 60 milliliters whiskey, preferably bourbon
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 120 milliliters pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 
  • 4 bone-in rib eye steaks, each 400 to 445 grams and about 3 centimeters thick, trimmed of excess fat
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat on the stove, warm the oil. Add the onion and cook until tender but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent browning. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly pour in the whiskey (beware of any flames!). Return the pan to the heat and cook until the whiskey is almost completely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste until well incorporated. Add the syrup, vinegar, mustard, paprika, hot sauce, and pepper and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to meld the flavors and thicken the sauce slightly. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (230° to 290°C). If you're using a charcoal grill, keep a small part of the charcoal grate clear of briquettes as a safety zone of indirect heat.
