Instructions

In a small saucepan whisk the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat on the stove. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened and reduced to 1¼ cups , 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Cool completely. Set aside ½ cup of the sauce for basting the steaks during grilling. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.
Lightly brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season evenly with the salt and pepper. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F) . If you're using a charcoal grill, keep a small part of the charcoal grate clear of briquettes as a safety zone of indirect heat.
