Four Ways to Use it!
Chicken-Wing Baste Prick 1 kg chicken wings with a fork. Marinate with 1/2 cup Brit-Style Steak Sauce. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Preheat barbecue to medium. Oil grill. Barbecue wings, with lid closed, brushing with 1/2 cup more sauce halfway through, until wings are cooked, about 12 min.
Five-Alarm Burgers Preheat barbecue to medium. Whisk 1/3 cup Devil's Steak Sauce with 1/3 cup dried bread crumbs, 2 sliced green onions, 1 finely chopped seeded jalapeno and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl. Crumble in 450 g ground beef. Mix until just combined. Do not over-mix. Shape into 4 burgers, each about 1 in. thick. Oil grill, then barbecue burgers, with lid closed, until cooked through, 5 to 6 min per side.
Port Grilled Mushrooms Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Grill whole mushrooms until cooked through, basting often with Port Steak Sauce. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Grilled Tofu Teppanyaki Soak skewers in water for 20 min. Pat 340 g firm tofu dry with paper towels. Cut into large cubes and marinate with 1/2 cup Teppanyaki Sauce in a freezer bag. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Preheat barbecue to medium. Thread tofu alternately with yellow zucchini and red onion chunks onto skewers. Oil grill and barbecue skewers until tofu is hot and veggies are cooked, 2 to 3 min per side.
