How to Make Cayenne Cherry Chocolate Steak Sauce A1

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Lightly grease grill grates with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 4 ounces of dark chocolate on low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup mayonnaise until well combined.
  5. Add 1/4 cup beer (stout or porter recommended) and stir until incorporated.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well.
  7. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  8. Reserve 1/2 of the sauce. Brush both sides of your steak generously with the reserved sauce.
  9. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or to your desired doneness.
  10. Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  11. Add 1/2 cup chopped cherries to the remaining sauce and stir gently to combine.
  12. Serve the sliced steak generously drizzled with the cherry-infused sauce.
