Ingredients:

1 (1-1/2 pound) Kentucky Proud top round steak,1-1/2 inches thick

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 cup Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey

1/3 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons minced Kentucky Proud garlic

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons pepper

Directions: Combine all ingredients except steak in a bowl. Mix well to produce marinade. Place steak in a sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours. Drain the steak, discarding the marinade. Place the steak on a grill rack. Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot coals for 25 to 30 minutes for medium rare to medium. Remove the steak to a cutting board. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut diagonally across the grain into thin strips. Serve with roasted potatoes.
