Day 6: T-Bone with Bistro Dipping Sauce

November 9, 2008

The purpose of Command of the Grill week is to promote the book “Command of the Grill”, whose proceeds benefit charities that support Marines. I’m not making any money off of this. You can read more here, or follow this link to purchase your own copy. This is a really easy way to support our troops. Semper Fi!

Now, I’ll have to be honest with you on this one. I was really wondering if I should make this recipe. The bistro dipping sauce is mostly ketchup, and I was worried it wouldn’t be that good. I decided to go ahead and give it a try, and boy am I glad I did!

The dipping sauce has Ketchup, butter, molasses, Worcestershire sauce and some spices, and it doesn’t taste like ketchup at all. The sauce was really terrific.

This was one of the celebrity recipes, and was attributed to Ed McMahon, who was a Marine Aviator in both World War 2 and Korea, being promoted to a full Colonel during his service.

Besides Ed’s wonderful bistro dipping sauce, the steaks also have a rub applied to them before they are grilled. I highly suggest this recipe, and it’s free on the Weber site, so you can give it a try too!
