STEAK WITH GARLIC SAUCE

Serves: 4-6

■ 2 heads roasted garlic

■ 2/3 cup (160 ml) steak sauce

■ 1/4 cup (60 ml) dry red or white wine

■ 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) onion powder

■ 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt

■ 1 1/2 lb (680 g) sirloin steak, 1 1/2 inches (3.75 cm) thick

1. To prepare sauce, squeeze pulp from roasted garlic into a small saucepan. Stir in steak sauce, wine, onion powder and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

2. Reserve half of sauce to serve with steak; use remainder to baste steak. Grill steak over medium heat on natural gas barbecue to desired doneness, basting occasionally. Serve steak with reserved sauce.

Note: To roast garlic, cut the top 1/4 inch (6 mm) off each garlic head. Place each garlic head on a piece of foil. Drizzle each head with a little olive oil and sprinkle with thyme. Twist foil around each head to enclose completely. Place foil package off to one side of natural gas barbecue grid. Do not place in centre of grid. Cook over low heat for 30-45 minutes or until soft.
