Sirloin with Smoky Beer Sauce

By Addie

“Grandma joked that we had to be 18 before we could be served this sauce. In truth, all the alcohol is simmered away when the sauce cooks, so all ages can enjoy!”

Ingredients

• 1 (12-ounce) can beer or 1/2 cup apple juice plus 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup chili sauce
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• 1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
• 1 green onion, coarsely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 (3-pound) sirloin steak, about 1 1/2 inches thick

Preparation

Step 1

Mix beer, chili sauce, oil, soy sauce, mustard, pepper sauce, liquid smoke, green onion and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer for about 20 minutes; reserve 1 cup sauce.


Heat grill or broiler to medium. Grease grill rack or broiler pan. Place steak on grill rack or broiler pan; brush with sauce.


Grill steak for 15 minutes on 1 side, basting frequently with sauce. Turn; grill or broil for 10 minutes longer, basting frequently with sauce, or until desired doneness.


Cut steak into serving portions. Serve with reserved sauce.
