Breakaway Offroad 4X4

There are a lot of recipies around that include alcohol, oyster shots as example .
I though a thread on this subject may be useful.

Here's a simple recipe next time you're out in the bush.

Bourbon Steak
1-1/2 pounds steak
1 teaspoon. sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 cup Apple Wood Chips
Mix all ingredients (except chips) together, place in ziplock bag and marinate
steak 4 hours or over night. Soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes, and
add to hot coals just before commencing to grill. Grill steak to desired
doneness. This recipe is good with any cut of steak you like.

The Apple Wood Chips I would consider to be an optional extra.

Here's another recipe about cooking with alcohol, I learnt this one on the Saturday night of our glasshouse trip.

1. Have a beer while thinking about what to cook for tea .

2. Have another beer because the first one tasted so good.

3. open yet another beer while waiting for the torrentous downpour to stop while you are sitting under a 2x2 metre tarp with five other people.

4. While now trying to avoid the lashing hail that gets you from every direction have a drink and think some more.

5. Drenched to the bone and still smarting from hailstone injuries start on the shots and just say " stuff cooking tonight"

OMG, that's like about 3 steps too many than I can be bothered with. Perhaps I can buy the sauces pre-made? LOL

What are apple wood chips? Are they like apple scented wood chips like when you're flavouring meet in a webber you can chuck in special wood chips designed to flavour the food?
