A quick-to-make sauce that accompanies grilled steak gets its alluring smokiness from a dose of chipotle pepper sauce. The condiment provides a bit of heat, too, but it’s not as hot as regular red pepper sauce.
4 (6-oz.) sirloin steaks (1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons chipotle pepper sauce
2 tablespoons minced green onions
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1. Heat grill. Brush steaks with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat or coals 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, turning once. Remove steaks. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
3. Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients in medium bowl. Top steaks with some of the sauce; pass remaining sauce.
