Ingredients

• 3/4 cup beer or nonalcoholic beer
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1/8 teaspoon Liquid Smoke, optional
• 3/4 pound beef top sirloin steak (1 inch thick)

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the beer, onion, chili sauce, oil, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, pepper sauce and Liquid Smoke if desired. Pour 1 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.


Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°), basting frequently with reserved marinade. Yield: 2 servings.
