Equipment
- Skewers wooden or metal, if wooden soak in water before using
- Grill gas or charcoal, preheated to medium-high heat
- Small saucepan for reducing liqueur and making glaze
- Large bowl for marinating meat
- Basting Brush for applying glaze
Ingredients
Marinade
- 1 cup PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur reduced to 1/2 cup
- 3 oz Dr. Marinade Jerk Sauce
- 1 sprig thyme fresh
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
- 1 lb flank steak sliced into 1/2 inch thick strips
- salt and pepper to taste
Glaze
- 3 oz PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur additional
- leftover marinade for glaze base
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of PAMA liqueur to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce to 1/2 cup, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the reduced PAMA liqueur, jerk sauce, thyme sprig, and hot pepper sauce. Mix well.
- Slice flank steak against the grain into 1/2 inch thick strips.
- Place beef strips in the bowl with marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Thread marinated beef strips onto skewers, weaving back and forth to secure. Reserve the marinade for the glaze.
- Season skewers with salt and pepper if desired.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness.
- While skewers are grilling, prepare the glaze: Add 3 oz of additional PAMA liqueur to the leftover marinade in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer and reduce until mixture thickens into a glaze consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove skewers from grill and brush generously with the prepared glaze.
- Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur contains 17% alcohol, which mostly cooks off during reduction and grilling. The remaining marinade is brought to a boil when making the glaze, which further reduces the alcohol content while concentrating the flavors.
