Marinated and Grilled Buffalo Rib-Eyes

Ingredients

4 buffalo rib-eye steaks - (7 ounces ea)

1/2 cup Canadian whiskey

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup roughly-chopped shallots

1/4 cup canola oil

2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 teaspoons Emeril's Essence

Preparation

Place the rib-eyes in a large sealable bag.

In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients except the Essence. Pour into the bag with the steaks and seal the bag. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally to coat the meat evenly.

Preheat a grill.

Remove the steaks from the bag and pat dry. Discard the marinade. Season each steak with 1 teaspoon of Essence and grill until medium-rare, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and immediately serve.
