Bold ingredients give these tender grilled steaks a taste you won’t soon forget.  We loved the slightly sweet and pleasantly smoky glaze.  Get ready to make mouths water!

Chili-Beer Glazed Steaks Recipe

 

Chili-Beer Glazed Steaks

2/3 cup chili sauce

2/3 cup spicy steak sauce

½ cup chopped shallots

½ cup beer or non-alcoholic beer

4 boneless beef top loin steak (2 oz. each)

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. pepper

 

In a small saucepan, combine the chili sauce, steak sauce, shallots and beer.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 12 – 15 minutes or until slightly thickened.  Set aside ½ cup for serving and keep warm.  Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper.

Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.  Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat or boil 4 inch from the heat 4 – 6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145 F.; medium, 160 F.; well-done, 170 F.), basting occasionally with sauce mixture.  Serve with reserved sauce.        4 servings
