Ingredients
- 4 top blade steaks, 5 oz. each
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon wine
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. mustard seed
- 2 strips lemon zest
- 2 sticks cinnamon
- 1 cup dark sweet cherries (fresh, frozen or canned)
Instructions
Combine vinegar, wine, sugar, mustard seed, lemon zest and cinnamon sticks together in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Pour 3/4-cup of the sauce mixture into a resealable bag. Add steaks to bag, seal well. Turn to coat steaks and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Strain remaining wine mixture, pour back into sauce pan and add cherries. Place mixture in refrigerator while steaks marinade.
Place steaks on grill over medium high coals. Grill for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once.
While steaks are cooking bring wine sauce to a simmer for 5 minutes to reheat. Serve steaks with sauce.
Suggestions
Suggested wine: Cabernet Sauvignon. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve 1 Tbsp. corn starch in 1 Tbsp. of cold water and add to the sauce while reheating. Other recommended cuts: Sirloin steak, strip steak, ribeye steak. Shoulder steaks may be used if you increase marinating time to 6-8 hours.
