I am not usually a fan of steak sauce, but when I saw this Grilled Sirloin Steak Burgers with Homemade Steak Sauce recipe I decided to give it a try. The steak sauce recipe has raisins as one of the ingredients, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about that, but I tried it anyway, and it was delicious.
I grilled the burger topped with the steak sauce, toasted the buns; put it all together with fresh tomatoes and onion from the garden and it made for a perfect cookout on Labor day weekend.
This recipe is a little bit of work but well worth the effort-give it a try and enjoy.
