Grilled Sirloin with Honey-Mustard Marinade

This steak is ideal for entertaining outdoors, and you get a bonus— enough meat to make another meal, such as Beef and Caramelized Onion on Hot French Bread (page 202).

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 3 ounces beef per serving (plus 12 ounces beef reserved)

Ingredients

Marinade

1/3 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 pounds boneless top sirloin steak, all visible fat discarded
Cooking spray

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large glass casserole dish, whisk together the marinade ingredients until well blended. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade in a small nonmetallic container. Add the steak to the remaining marinade, turning to coat. Cover the casserole dish and small container and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours, turning the steak occasionally.

    Step 2

    Lightly spray a grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill and grill rack on medium high.

    Step 3

    Drain the steak, discarding the marinade in the casserole dish.

    Step 4

    Cook the steak, covered, for 5 minutes. Turn over. Baste with 2 tablespoons reserved marinade. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn over. Using a clean basting brush, baste with the remaining marinade. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the desired doneness. Let stand for 10 minutes for easier slicing. Cut diagonally into strips.

    Step 5

    Refrigerate half the steak (about 12 ounces) in an airtight container for use in Beef and Caramelized Onion on Hot French Bread. Serve the remaining steak.

  2. Cook’s Tip

    Step 6

    Freeze 1/4 cup marinade in one airtight freezer container and the steak and remaining marinade in another airtight freezer container. The time it takes to freeze and thaw is the marinating time.
