    Things To Grab

    • Paper towels
    • Large resealable plastic bag
    • Medium saucepan
    • Meat thermometer
    • Aluminum foil

    Directions

    1. Pat steaks dry; place in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine cola, whiskey, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Transfer 1 cup marinade to a medium saucepan; pour remaining over steak. Seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.

    2. Whisk ketchup into marinade in saucepan. Bring to gentle boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Cool and refrigerate sauce.

    3. Preheat a charcoal or gas grill with a greased grill rack for direct cooking over medium heat. Remove steak from marinade; pat dry. Discard marinade. Heat sauce. Grill steak 12 to 15 minutes or until medium-rare (130 degrees); turn and brush with sauce halfway through. Loosely cover steak; let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Garnish with arugula, if desired. Serve with remaining sauce.
