This BBQ sauce ranks up there pretty high for me; at least it sounded good. The flavor profile of the coffee and the bourbon is spot on. Not overwhelming in either case, just hints of it.
But as it cooked down, it lost some of it's flavor. It was good, but not great. I definitely did not put enough salt in it - and that really could have made all the difference honestly.
You do need to plan ahead for this recipe because you have to allow time for the sauce to cook before you marinade the tips in it.
Grilled Sirloin Tips with Coffee-Bourbon BBQ Sauce
Recipe from Justcook.butcherbox.com
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small onion small dice
- ¼ c blackstrap molasses
- ½ c brown sugar
- ½ c sherry vinegar
- ¼ c brewed coffee
- ¼ c bourbon
- 1 c tomato sauce
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- Garnish
- 1 bunch green onions thinly sliced
Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes before cooking.
In small saucepan, add olive oil. Once oil is hot, add garlic and onions, and sauté on medium heat until translucent.
Add brown sugar and molasses and stir until melting. Add sherry vinegar, coffee, bourbon kosher salt and ground black pepper, then reduce by half.
Add tomato sauce and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cool sauce completely.
Marinate steak tips in sauce for 5 minutes.
Place tips on skewers. Remove any excess marinade.
Preheat grill. If using open flame, wait for flames to die down. Right before grilling, make sure grill surface is extremely hot, then rub it down with an oil-soaked rag – we advise using tongs to hold the rolled-up rag.
For medium, place Sirloin Steak Tips at 45° angle across hottest part of the grill grates, then grill for 5 minutes per side, while rotating 90° every 2 ½ minutes. Keep your meat moving to ensure that it cooks evenly. Remove from grill when meat thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 130°F.
Rest for at least 8 minutes.
