Ingredient Substitutions

Chili Sauce

If you do not have chili sauce, use ketchup with a small pinch of red pepper flakes as a substitute.

Worcestershire Sauce

Soy sauce can be used in place of Worcestershire sauce. Use the same amount and note it will add a slightly saltier, more savory flavor.

Fresh Ginger

Ground ginger works as a substitute. Use ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger in place of 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger.

Mustard

Dijon mustard and yellow mustard are both acceptable here. Dijon will give a slightly sharper flavor.

Brown Sugar

Honey or maple syrup can be used in place of brown sugar. Use the same amount.

Ingredients
 

Instructions
 

  • Before turning on the grill, coat the grill rack or grill pan with nonstick spray.
  • Preheat the gas grill or grill pan to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare a high fire.
  • In a small bowl, add the chili sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, mustard, and ginger. Stir until combined.
  • Using a basting brush, coat both sides of the steak with the sauce.
  • Place the steak on the grill. Grill for 6 to 7 minutes on one side.
  • Flip the steak and brush with any remaining sauce.
  • Grill for another 6 to 7 minutes for medium rare, or until the internal temperature reads 130°F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board.
  • Cover loosely with foil and allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice the steak against the grain before serving.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Let the steak come to room temperature. Take the steak out of the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. This helps it cook more evenly from edge to center.
Do not skip the resting step. After grilling, letting the steak rest for 10 minutes under foil keeps the juices inside the meat. Cutting too early causes them to run out.
Slice against the grain. Look at the direction the muscle fibers run across the steak. Slice perpendicular to those lines. This shortens the fibers and makes each bite more tender.
Check temperature, not time. Grills vary in heat. Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness rather than relying only on the timer. 130°F is medium rare.
Spray the grill before heating. Coating the grill rack with nonstick spray before preheating prevents the steak from sticking and helps with even searing.

Storing and Reheating

Storing: Place leftover steak in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat on Stovetop – Place a serving in a skillet with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or beef broth. Warm over low heat, turning once, until heated through. Avoid high heat to keep the steak from drying out.
