UNCLE CHARLIE'S VERY SPECIAL GRILLED STEAKS

Steps:

• Put steaks in a zip lock bag and sprinkle some worsteshire sauce over them. Zip up the bag and let the sauce soak in while the steaks come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Light your grill and put the fire on medium. If using charcoal wait until the coals are grey with ash and no longer flaming.
• Place steaks on grill and sprinkle with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes then flip. Cook to desired doneness.
• As soon as you remove the steaks from the grill sprinkle with some more worsteshire sauce, place a teaspoon of garlic on the steak and spread it around and top the steak with a dollop of butter and a few more shakes of worsteshire sauce. The butter will melt into a nice sauce with the worsteshire and garlic.
• You can also use Delmonicos or any other steak you like with this recipe. Serve with garlic Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Corn.
