Preparation facts

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

2 boneless beef chuck shoulder steaks, cut 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds)

4 slices bacon

1 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

1 clove garlic, minced

1 can (15 to 16 ounces) each kidney and pinto beans, drained

1 Tbs packed brown sugar

Western BBQ Sauce:

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup each cider vinegar and water

3 Tbs packed brown sugar

1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp hot pepper sauce

Directions

Combine sauce ingredients in medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Refrigerate 3/4 cup for beans. Refrigerate 1/4 cup for basting. Cool remaining sauce for marinade.

Place beef steaks and cooled sauce in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag; marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.

Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp; crumble. Discard all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; cook and stir over medium heat 5 minutes. Stir in bacon, beans, 3/4 cup sauce and sugar; heat through.

Remove steaks; discard marinade. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 16 to 20 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Brush both sides with 1/4 cup sauce during last 5 to 6 minutes. Carve into thin slices. Serve with beans.
