Grilled Sirloin with Madeira Sauce
Preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes plus marinating time
This makes a great dinner party dish: Use a larger, cheaper cut of meat, about 1 1/2" (4cm) thick, and marinate 8 - 12 hours. The rest of the ingredients can be doubled (I actually 'halved' everything for this version for 2) You can also make more and serve the leftovers with pasta.
Ingredients:
- 1 steak, 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick (3 - 4cm), Sirloin, tip steak, strip steak, 450gr, 16oz
- Marinade
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tbs red wine vinegar, 90gr, 3.2oz
- 1/4 cup ketchup, 60gr, 2.1oz
- 2 tbs olive oil, 27gr, .95oz
- 1/2 tsp salt, 3gr, .1oz
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- pinch dried cloves
Instructions:
- Put steak in a deep dish - a baking dish or roasting pan works well. Mix all ingredients for marinade and pour over steak. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate 3 - 5 hours (up to 24 for less tender cuts).
- Remove from marinade, reserving 1/4 cup marinade.
- Cook on barbecue grill over direct heat for 4 - 6 minutes per side, basting occasionally, - or until done - 140 F for rare. Use thumb test, meat thermometer or by slicing into center and looking.
- When done, remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. To serve, slice thinly and serve with Madeira sauce.
- Can be cooked under broiler - start with 5 minutes a side, basting each side once.
Madeira sauce
Ingredients:- 1/4 cup of reserved marinade
- 1/2 cup (4oz, 125ml) beef stock, 112gr, 4oz
- 1/3 cup Madeira you could substitute cream sherry, port or red wine, 85gr, 3oz
- 1 tbs cornstarch (maizena) dissolved in 1 tbs water, 8gr, .28oz
In small saucepan bring marinade, stock and Madeira to boil. Add half of the cornstarch mixture slowly and stir until thickened. Add the remaining half slowly if you would like the sauce thicker.
