Bourbon Beef Marinade (Paula Deen)

Another old recipe! This is an excellent recipe! It is suppose to be on tenderloin, but I've always done it on steaks instead. My dad recently cooked it on venison and it was pretty good there too (although it wasn't in the marinade nearly as long as it was suppose to be). You do need to do some planning before hand if this is what you want to cook for dinner. The marinade time is 8-12 hours.

Ingredients:
    Your choice of meat!
    1c bourbon
    2/3c soy sauce
    1 bunch cilantro, chopped
    1/2c lemon juice
    1tbsp worcestershire sauce
    2c water
    3-4 sprigs fresh chopped thyme
    1c brown sugar

Preparation:
    1. Prepare marinade by combining borudon, brown sugar, soy sauce, cilantro, lemon juice, worcestershire, 
        water, and thyme. Pour marinade over meat, cover, and refrigerate 8-12 hours. Turn meat over several 
        times. 

    2. The original recipe mentions occasionally basting the meat. We leave a little bit of the marinade on the side 
        for this instead of using the marinade that was soaking around the raw meat.
