A rich and flavorful steak glaze combining the sweetness of cherries and chocolate with a touch of spice.
Preheat your grill and lightly grease the grates with non-stick spray.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the steak to achieve perfect sear marks.
In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth.
Use a double boiler to prevent the chocolate from burning.
Mix in the mayonnaise until fully combined.
Ensure the mayonnaise is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the beer, stirring to blend.
Pour the beer slowly to avoid splashing and ensure even mixing.
Stir in the anchovy paste, tomato paste, dry mustard, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Heat for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Taste the glaze and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Brush half of the glaze onto both sides of the steak and grill for 4-5 minutes per side. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender.
Chop the dried cherries and stir them into the remaining glaze.
Chop the cherries finely for a smoother glaze texture.
Serve the steak slices with the cherry glaze drizzled on top.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
