I signed up for an account just to review this recipe. Unlike the first reviewer, I loved this and was really impressed with the flavors. The sauce was sweet, but not overly so, and well-balanced with the fresh rosemary on the steak. The sauce was more of a steak sauce consistency than a barbecue sauce consistency, so I agree with the previous reviewer that it was a bit thin. I think the recipe title would be more accurate if it said "BBQ Bourbon Steak Sauce." I ended up putting the sauce back on the heat to reduce it further after adding the bourbon and balsamic, too, so that helped. I think using high quality bourbon and balsamic really makes a difference here, as well. All in all, I loved this and I can't wait to make it again.

Allowing the meat to rest for 10 minutes lets the juices redistribute throughout the steak for richer flavor.
