Big Baste Round Steak

Lots of folks ask us how best to grill round steak. We like ours steeped and finished with a flavourful BIG Baste.

Ingredients

• 1 cup chives
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• Beef Inside or Outside Round Marinating Steak, 1-1/2 inches (4 cm) thick

Directions for Round Steak

1. Combine steak sauce, garlic, mustard and onions in large sealable freezer bag. Remove 1/4 cup (50 mL) EACH for basting and dipping.
2. Pierce steak all over; add to bag and refrigerate for 8 or up to 12 hours. Discard marinade. Pat steak dry with paper towel; season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Grill over medium-high heat, brushing with reserved basting sauce, for 14 to 16 minutes, turning at least twice, for medium-rare doneness 145°F(63°C).
4. Transfer to cutting board, cover loosely with foil and let stand for 5 minutes before carving on an angle into thin slices. Serve with reserved dipping sauce.
