Tri-tip steaks with texas toast









I found this receipe in better hoes and garden...and thought that it sounded interesting. It sounded fancy for a nice weekday dinner..hahah! I had to make some modifications to it since we live in the apartment and have no grill, I had to make my steak on the stove top with this grilling pan thing my mom got us. However, I am typing out the directions to the meal as seen in the magazine for you all.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup bourbon
1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup molasses
2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2 to 2 lb. beef trip tip steaks
1/2 cup ketchup
6 Tbsp. butter, softened
6 to 8 slices Texas toast
Directions:
1. for marinade, whisk together bourbon, soy sauce, molasses, vinegar, and chili powder. Remove 1/4 cup for sauce. (prick both sides of steak with fork. Place in self sealing plastic bag set in shallow dish. Pour marinade over. Seal; marinate refrigerated, 2 to 3 hours, turning occasionally).
2. For sauce, in saucepan combine ketchup, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup reserved marinade, 2 Tbsp butter, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Bring to boiling over medium, set aside.
3. Remove steaks from marinade discard marinade. Brush meat with 1 Tbsp. cooking oil.Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
4. For charcoal grill, arrange medium hot coals on one side of grill. Place steaks on rack directly over coals. Cover and lightly sear on both sides for 4 minutes. Move to unheated side of grill. Cover and grill 12 to 15 minutes more to medium rare. Removee, let stand 5 minutes. Butter bread, place on hot grill.
5. Reheat sauce. Thinly slice steak and arrage on toast, pass sauce.
Verdict:
~ The bourbon taste def. comes out in the meat. If you do not like the taste, I would not recommend this meal to you. However, we all enjoyed it over here. The toast was a nice added touch that we usually do not have in our meal.
