Party Planning Recipes for the month of June

Boozy Beef Steaks 4 beef steaks 4 tablespoons of whiskey or brandy 2 tablespoons of soy sauce 1 tablespoon of molasses sugar pepper sprigs of fresh parsley to garnish To Serve Slices of tomato garlic bread Make a few cuts in the edge of fat on each steak, using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. This will prevent the meat from curling as it cooks. Place the meat in a shallow nonmetallic dish. Combine the whisky or brandy, soy sauce, sugar and pepper to taste in a small bowl, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the marinade over the steak, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Drain the steak. Grill over hot coals, searing the meat over the hottest part of the barbecue for approximately 2 minutes on each side. Move the steak to an area of the barbecue with slightly less intense heat (usually the sides) and cook for another 4 - 10 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like it. Meanwhile, lightly grill the slices of tomato for 1 - 2 minutes. Transfer the meat and the tomatoes to warmed serving plates. Garnish each with a sprig of fresh parsley and serve immediately with garlic bread. Serves 4
