Jack Daniels makes a really good marinade in a bag which will work well with chicken or steak!

I have. I don't remember what the steak tasted like but the Jack Daniels was excellent.

You take 2 shots of Jack & then look at your steaks. Repeat several times. It is freaking excellent.

If you want to use a 80 proof spirit as a marinade, one way to do it is to "flash" off most of the alcohol before. Put the marinade together in a saucepan ( Jack, coke, garlic, black pepper, chili paste) for example, cook it on the stove top and use a gas match to flame the alcohol off after it simmers ( careful!), let it cool and then marinate. If you use it straight, reduce your marinade time as the alcohol portion affects the texture of the meat.

I have used Jack Daniel's for chicken and baked beans and steak, but actually like Jim Beam and others better to cook with, just my thought. I find that using garlic and a bit of soy sauce is the best with both chicken and steak, but seems leaving the marinate on no longer than about an hour per side is best.

I did not know that Jack Daniels can use in marinating steak, But it sounds interesting, Got to try it.

Elk steak marinated in Persian lime infused olive oil, Jack Daniel's Tennessee honey liqueur whiskey, and other aromatic spices; brown rice, and sauteed mushrooms.

Much like doc3855 discribed, I've used Jack Daniels and Jim Beam to marinate steaks. I too prefer Jim Beam as a marinade ingredient but I don't dilute it with anything other than lots of garlic. Biggest problem is leaving it in the marinade too long - the alcohol breaks down the meat fibers too much and the result can be kinda mushy. I like about 30 minutes of marinade or flashing off most of the alcohol and letting it marinate a couple of hours.
I first did it in hunting camp (circa 1965) in a cast iron skillet for dinner with our group of four. I seared the steaks in butter, added some rosemary and they scoffed when they saw the Jim Beam go in but when it came time to chow down they slopped up the gravy real fast.

flash in off is an excellent idea especially with full flavored meat.
i would use just a couple ounces to a quart of marinade and cook on Very high heat to caramelize the bourbon.
fat is where the flavor lives but it is very hard to get it into the meat at Bbq temps.
just a thought
