Ingredients

• 1 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey (or bourbon)
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Jack Daniel's whiskey, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the mixture.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish large enough to hold your meat of choice.

Step 5

Add your protein (such as steak, chicken, or pork chops) to the marinade. Make sure the meat is fully submerged and coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.

Step 6

Refrigerate and let the meat marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion.

Step 7

Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade before cooking your meat as desired (grilling, baking, or pan-searing).
