    Wood-Grilled Sirloin

    Copyright 1999, Matthew Tivy. All rights reserved.

    Ingredients:

    4 (16-oz.) dry-aged sirloin steaks

    Ingredients for Marinade:

    2 Tbs. vegetable oil
    2 cloves garlic, sliced
    2 sprigs fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
    3 sprigs fresh thyme, roughly chopped
    Salt and pepper, to taste

    Ingredients for Sauce:

    3 cups red wine
    1/4 cup shallots, chopped and peeled
    2 Tbs. veal demiglace
    Splash sherry vinegar
    2 Tbs. butter
    Sugar, to taste

    Wood chips for grilling
    Compound butter, recipe follows

    Preparation:

    Prepare the marinade by combining vegetable oil, sliced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Rub the steaks in this mixture and allow to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

    Combine red wine and shallots in a medium saucepan. Cook over high heat and reduce until about 3 tablespoons remain, then add veal demiglace, a splash of sherry vinegar and 2 tablespoons butter. Bring back to a low boil and add sugar, if needed, and set aside in a warm place.

    Heat the stovetop smoker with wood chips and place the steaks on the smoker for 3 minutes. Cover with the lid for a few minutes to infuse the meat with the wood-smoke flavor. Place steaks on grill pan and cook to desired doneness. Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste. To serve, ladle sauce over steak and top with Compound Butter.

    Servings: 4

    Ingredients for Compound Butter:

    2 Tbs. lemon juice
    1/4 lb. butter, softened
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 sprig rosemary, finely chopped
    2 sprigs thyme, finely chopped

    Preparation:

    Mix lemon juice, softened butter, chopped garlic, finely chopped rosemary and finely chopped thyme in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Roll into a log, shape in plastic wrap and freeze until solid. Cut into 1/4" slices and place on top of each steak.
