PREP: 15 minutes GRILL: 20 to 30 minutes
MAKES: 5 main-dish servings
CHILI-GLAZED PORTERHOUSE STEAK
¼ cup chili sauce
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¾ teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, crushed with garlic press
1 beef loin porterhouse or T-bone steak,
2 inches thick (about 2 ¼ pounds)
GRILLED SALAD
1 large head radicchio, cut into 6 wedges
3 medium heads Belgian endive, each cut lengthwise in half
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
1. Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat.
2. Prepare the steak: In a pie plate or deep dish, mix chili sauce, vinegar, salt, and garlic. Trim all fat from steak; add steak to chili-sauce mixture and turn to coat on both sides.
3. Place steak on hot grill rack and brush with half the chili-sauce mixture remaining in plate. Cook steak 20 to 30 minutes for medium-rare or until of desired doneness, turning steak occasionally and brushing with chili-sauce mixture remaining in plate halfway through grilling.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the salad: In small bowl, mix oil, rosemary, and salt. Place radicchio and endive on grill over medium heat with the steak; brush with olive-oil mixture. Cook, turning them occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp, 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Transfer steak to cutting board; let stand 10 minutes to allow juices to set for easier slicing. Slice steak and serve with the grilled salad.
