Grilled Steak With Texas Mop Sauce Serves 4 Description Coffee might be a surprising barbecue ingredient, but in Texas it often shows up in "mop sauce," which is used to baste, or mop, meat while it's cooking, resulting in a moist and tender dish. The name probably comes from the fact that pit masters in the South actually use cotton mops to baste large quantities of slow-cooking meat. You can rub the steak with a spice mixture of your choice before cooking. Prep time: 10 minutes Start to finish: 15 minutes Ingredients 1/2 cup no-salt-added tomato sauce 1/4 cup strongly brewed decaffeinated coffee 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon sugar-free pancake syrup 1 (1 1/2 pounds) sirloin steak, about 1 1/2 inches thick 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Instructions In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, coffee, Worcestershire sauce, and syrup. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat. Transfer 2/3 cup of the sauce to a small bowl and reserve for dipping. Lightly coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Rub steak on both sides with pepper. Grill steak, basting frequently with remaining 1/3 cup mop sauce, 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow steak to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut steak into thin slices, divide evenly among 4 plates, and serve with reserved mop sauce for dipping.
