Like I have said before I am not a big RED MEAT EATER but again this recipe blew my mind! We definitely only eat steak when it's on sale at our local grocery store. This week we got lucky and I was not disappointed. It has such a great flavor with a little kick to it, so I think you should try it!

Grilled New York Strip Steak with Beer and Molasses Steak Sauce

Ingredients

For sauce:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups ketchup
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup apple cider
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup lager-style beer
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 3 (1 pound each and 1/2-inch thick) prime-aged New York Strip Steaks ( I didn't use this much but still made the same amount of sauce. I used the leftovers to seasons our ribs that week!)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

For the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes, until softened. Add the rest of the ingredients; bring to a boil, then simmer until sauce is reduced to 2 cups, about 30 minutes.

Preheat grill pan. Season steak with salt and pepper and rub with oil. Grill steak about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes and serve with sauce on side.
