Marinate the Steak
First, we marinate our ribeyes, because a marinade is the key to a great steak! So, in a food safe bag or bowl, mix together the minced garlic, Cajun blackening seasoning, low sodium soy sauce, honey, and bourbon.
Next, lightly score the outside of your ribeyes. The goal here is to increase the surface area of the meat to allow the marinade to penetrate deeper. It is Bourbon Marinated Ribeyes after all!
So, place the steaks into the prepared marinade, seal the container, and place in the fridge to marinate for four hours!
Grill Your Bourbon Marinated Ribeyes
Next, let’s get cooking! Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat temperature of around 375ºF for direct cooking. Pull the ribeyes out of the marinade, then add them onto the grill directly over the heat source. Cook them for roughly three minutes on each side, then check that they are an internal temperature of 120ºF. Medium-rare Bourbon Marinated Ribeyes is where it’s at!
Now, while the steaks are cooking, be sure to move them around on the grill or pull them off of the heat if they start to burn. We want them cooked, not charred.
Next, pull the steaks off of the grill and keep them warm until you’re ready to serve.
Cheese and Mushroom Cream Sauce for Bourbon Marinated Ribeyes
Next up, our rich, creamy, insanely flavorful Cheese and Mushroom Cream Sauce, because it’s just what Bourbon Marinated Ribeyes need. Trust me.
To make your sauce, kick the heat on the grill up to a temperature of around 400ºF. Add a cast-iron skillet to the grill, then drizzle in a little bit of oil.
Next, add in your sliced mushrooms and allow them to cook for 7-8 minutes or until they start to sweat out the water. Be sure to stir pretty frequently so they don’t burn! No one likes burnt mushrooms on their Bourbon Marinated Ribeyes.
Add in minced garlic and allow that to caramelize for a few minutes, then deglaze the skillet with bourbon. Lastly, pour in the heavy cream and let the mixture slowly simmer until the sauce is thickened. I usually achieve this in anywhere from 5-8 minutes. Again, keep an eye on it and stir frequently to make sure it doesn’t burn.
Finish and Serve Your Bourbon Marinated Ribeyes
Just before you pull the sauce off of the heat, add in a handful of crumbled blue cheese, then mix it all up and let it cook for another couple of minutes. Pull the sauce off of the heat and let it cool slightly.
To serve it all up, slice the steaks and add them onto a serving plate topped with a generous ladleful of your Cheese and Mushroom Cream Sauce. Garnished with chopped parsley, then dig in!

- 1 cup Crumbled Blue Cheese

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the marinade and pour into a food safe bag or bowl. Lightly score the outside of your ribeyes so the marinade penetrates deeper, then place the steaks in the marinade. Seal and place in the fridge to marinate for 4 hours.
- Preheat your grill to a medium high heat temperature (around 375F) for direct cooking.

Make sure to move your steaks around if they begin burning or pull them away from the heat. Once the steaks are cooked, pull them off and keep warm until ready to serve.
- Kick up your grill to high heat (around 400F) and add a cast iron skillet with a little bit of oil. Add your sliced mushrooms first and let cook for about 7-8 minutes to sweat out the water making sure to stir frequently. Once the mushrooms have sweat, add your minced garlic and let caramelize for 3-4 minutes. Deglaze the skillet with some bourbon and let simmer for 1 minute. Finally, add your heavy cream to the skillet and let slowly simmer until the sauce has thickened (about 5-8 minutes) making sure to stir frequently. Right before pulling off, add your crumbled blue cheese and mix together into the sauce and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Pull off and let cool.
- Slice your steaks up, serve with the sauce, garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
