Jack & Coke

...If You Please

(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

A match made in Dixie. This beautiful combo has been a tradition for years. And we're not going to argue the basis of Jack Daniels versus whatever other bourbon you prefer. And for all of our Bourbon connoisseurs out there that think it's a sin to mix good bourbon with anything... well just bare with us will ya? Cause you just don't mess with a legend... unless you kick it up a little. 

Anyway, we thought about it and hey, how about a Jack & Coke steak? Sounds good right? And then, if you were to kick it up a notch, a "revved up" Jack & Coke can't be all bad. 

Throw in a little drinking music and you got yourself a great afternoon. 

The pots are on!

The Plate... 

Jack & Coke Porterhouse

Ok kids, here's a quick review... The difference between a Porterhouse and a T-bone steak is very little. They are both the best of both worlds... New York strip on one side and tenderloin on the other. 

So here's the deal... the Porterhouse has a tenderloin that is at least 1.25 inches thick (a bigger piece than the T-bone). 

What's better than a Porterhouse steak? A Porterhouse steak with a marinade that is slightly sweet and full of flavor. 

What you need... 

20oz Porterhouse steak 

1/3 cup brown sugar1/2 cup Jack Daniels

1 cup Coca Cola

1/3 cup Soy Sauce

2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

3 cloves garlic / minced

4 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

1 tsp fresh ground pepper

What you do...

Whisk together all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. 

Place the steak in a large zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade.

Seal it up and let it set overnight.

Heat your grill to medium-high.

Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature.

Grill to your favorite temperature ( about 5-6 min per side for medium rare).

Pull it off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Dig in!

The Playlist... 

Jack & Coke

Everybody needs a little whiskey drinking music every now and again. You know... a little rough around the edges... something that throws caution to the wind. 

If your Lucinda you just have a shot and "Change the Locks". Or, like the old Tammy Wynette standard says... "Stand by Your Man". 

Just be careful driving. In fact probably need to take some advice from Reckless Kelly-"I Hold The Bottle, You Hold The Wheel".

Lot of cool stuff here. Take your time and order another round.... Jack Daniels if you please!
