How long do you marinade the steak?
Melissa, I usually marinate around 3 hours per 1/2 inch thickness of the meat. So If I have an 1 inch thick steak I will marinate in fridge for 6 hours. Thicker than that I just do it over night.

I made a whiskey marinade once with 1 cup of whiskey and the whiskey flavor ended up being way over powering and ruined my dinner. How strong is the whiskey flavor using only one cup?
For this recipe I only put in 1/3 cup. I think the brown sugar offsets the sharp flavor of the whiskey and you get a more mellow flavor in your meat. This is also very good with salmon on the grill. I just sprinkle a little of my coffee dry rub on top before cooking.

When using this marinade how do you cook the steak?
I grill them in the summer and also use Elaton Browns method which I love. Give it a try, you will be amazed. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pan-seared-rib-eye-recipe
