Steaks on the grill are an easy enjoyable meal in the warmer months. At my house, i like a good Teriyaki steak. I usually make my own sauce/glaze which is far more tasty than the homemade Teriyaki sauce.
Depending on how many steaks you're making, adjust the basic ingredients to taste. Take about a 1/2 cup of soy sauce, heat in a small saucepan. Add to this three cloves of minced garlic. Then add a tablespoon and a half of minced garlic. mix that up over low heat. Next, add about a 1/4 cup of honey. Measurements do not have to be exact on this... some of us prefer more soy, or more garlic. once the honey has all been heated up blend in the other ingredients until it all combines well. you can then let this cool down.
This sauce is not really a marinade as there is no acid in it. So take your steaks out and cover with just a little soy sauce. Heat the grill to medium high while the steaks soak in a little soy.
What kind of steaks? Round steaks are really lean, but cook poorly over the grill. Chuck steaks will cook fine over the grill, but they are a little tough and very fatty. Sirloin steaks are a good choice on the grill, but my preference when i can is for a good ribeye steak, about 3/4 inch thick if possible. Porterhouse or Strip steaks are also good, but often can be pricey.
Once the grill is well heated, put your steaks on the grill, covering the top & sides with the Teriyaki sauce you made. I like a medium rare steak, so I'm going to cook it 6 minutes before flipping it. if you like your steak cooked more, you'll want to cook it a little longer. They even make a little themometer you can put in your steak that will help you determine how cooked it is without taking it off the grill.
When you turn the steaks, coat them again with the sauce. Another 6 minutes and the steak is done. you'll want to put a little foil over the steak and let it sit a minute or two to let the juices spread throughout the meat. Then slice and enjoy!
