When I was growing up, my mom sometimes prepared ‘easy meals’. You know, those meals that were easy to make after work (smiles). Those dishes consisted of steak, more steak, and spaghetti (laughs). Yes, we ate a lot of different types of food.. but when she had a hard day.. she pulled out that easy meal. So in salute to my mom, today’s theme is ‘Steak‘. And this Sugar Steak with Bourbon recipe from Food52, would definitely make her happy. And I’m guessing some of you as well (smiles). View the ingredient list below and click the link for the recipe. Another recipe coming up..

My kind of recipe. Not too many ingredients, quick and easy to make and looks delicious.

Kay your timing couldn’t have been better! We’re making a flank steak recipe for our state night tonight and this will be the perfect addition to the recipe! Plus we don’t drink bourbon very often (if at all) and we have a bottle of it that could use some love.
I’m thinking this will take our recipe over the top. Perfect!

Your Mother sounds like a wonderful cook, Kay, especially if spaghetti was a “go to” dinner for her to prepare.
This steak is going to find it’s way onto my dinner plate. It sounds delicious and thanks for sharing the recipe with us.

Looks wonderful! I love the use of brown sugar, I never ever think to do anything but salt and pepper for steaks!

Red meat and liquor are always a good combo.
#14 by cravesadventure on April 20, 2012 - 1:51 PM
My mouth is watering and for some reason I need a glass of red wine – ha! Have a Great Weekend:)
#15 by yummychunklet on April 20, 2012 - 2:13 PM
I’m always intrigued by the sweet/savory combo. Kudos for adding a sugar twist to steak!
#16 by baconbiscuit212 on April 20, 2012 - 2:19 PM
So good, yet so simple. Chiles? Bourbon? Brown sugar? Sounds like a wonderful combination!
#17 by hookedontaste on April 20, 2012 - 5:48 PM

I think most of my mom’s weeknight dishes were “easy meals” for sure.. it was tough working and coming home to cook something in a short period of time. The slow cooker made an entrance now and then, as did eggs! Love the bourbon and sugar on this steak!! Wow!
#22 by Tandy on April 21, 2012 - 1:38 AM
I love a good steak, and bourbon! Happy birthday wishes to your mom!
#23 by aFrankAngle on April 21, 2012 - 7:34 AM
Oh my goodness. Steak and bourbon is a great combo. Just reminded me that we were recently served a bourbon sauce with some flank steak .. YUM … The chef gave me the recipe (Cheers!) and I used it as a marinade for boneless pork ribs … (More cheers!) … and then reduced it into a serving sauce. (A standing ovation now).

Are you freakin’ kidding me?! This looks so amazing! My husband would go CRAZY for this steak.
#25 by Lisa at fLVE on April 21, 2012 - 5:44 PM
Looks really yummy. I have a piece of steak sitting in the freezer, I think I will defrost it and serve it for dinner.
#26 by rsmacaalay on April 22, 2012 - 4:24 AM
Wow look at that steak, Mmmmmmm

Sugar and steak and bourbon in one recipe. It’s like having all your favorite food groups on one plate.
#29 by Androgoth on April 24, 2012 - 7:25 PM

It seems easy to do and simple, I think I will give it a try.
I always say the same : “I should give it a try, I think I will try this, I will definitely try this recipe…” and finally, I end by doing nothing!! I guess I’m too lazy for cooking lol.
But I promise that one near day I’ll try many of your recepes,a dn let you know how they were
