Recipe: BBQ Chuck Steak (with homemade barbecue sauce using ketchup)

BBQ CHUCK STEAK

1 well-trimmed beef chuck steak (3/4 to 1-inch thick, about 2 lbs.)
FOR THE MARINADE AND SAUCE:
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/8 to 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Combine ingredients for marinade and sauce; mix well. Place beef steak and 1 cup of marinade mixture in food-safe plastic bag, turning steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade mixture for sauce.

WHEN READY TO COOK:
Remove steak from marinade; discard the used marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 15 to 18 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once.

Meanwhile in small saucepan, bring reserved sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until desired consistency is reached.

Trim fat; remove bones. Carve beef into serving-size pieces; serve with sauce.

Makes 4 to 6 servings
