Beer-B-Cue Sauce

  • ½ cup chopped onion (1 medium)

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • ½ cup pale ale

  • ½ cup chili sauce

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoon yellow mustard

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce

Directions

The day before:

  1. Trim fat from steaks. Place steaks in a large resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl combine ale, chili sauce, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the garlic, salt, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Pour marinade over steaks. Seal bag; turn to coat steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning bag occasionally.

  2. Prepare Beer-B-Cue Sauce. Transfer to a storage container; cover and chill overnight.

Tailgate day:

  1. Drain steaks, discarding marinade. Transfer steaks to a storage container; cover tightly. Tote steaks and sauce in an insulated cooler with ice packs.

  2. At the tailgating site, prepare grill. For a charcoal grill, grill steaks on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 10 to 13 minutes for medium-rare (145°F) or 12 to 15 minutes for medium (160°F), turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steaks on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)

  3. Meanwhile, reheat sauce, if desired. Transfer sauce to a small disposable foil pan or camping pan. While steaks are grilling, add sauce to grill. Reheat for 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Serve steaks with warm or chilled sauce.
