Ingredients
For BBQ Sauce:
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
For the Meat:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or New York Strip steak (top sirloin)
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
Steps
For BBQ Sauce:
- Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until all the ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3, about 15 to 20 minutes. Divide sauce, use half for basting and reserve half for serving.
For the Meat:
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat meat with some of the BBQ sauce. Place meat on the grill. Cook the chicken about 8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Cook the steaks starting at about 4 minutes per side until desired doneness. Continually brush the meat with the BBQ sauce every few minutes. Remove the meat from the grill and let rest at least 5 minutes. Serve with the reserved sauce.
