Bar-B-Qued Plank Steak!

Cedar-Planked Southwestern Steak

Ingredients:
1 boneless beef sirloin steak (1-1/2 lb.)
1 untreated cedar plank (14x7x1 inch)
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1-1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. oil
3/4 cup Barbecue Sauce, divided

Preparation:
Immerse plank in water, placing a weight on top of plank to keep it submerged. Soak at least 4 hours or overnight. (Untreated cedar planks, which are sold for this purpose, can be found at most specialty food stores or some grocery or hardware stores. During cooking, check periodically to make sure that the plank is not on fire. Since the plank can ignite when exposed to flames, it is best to keep a spray bottle of water close at hand if needed to extinguish any flames.)

Meanwhile, mix sugar and seasonings; rub onto both sides of steak. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 2 hours.

Preheat grill to high heat. Grill steak 2 minutes on each side; remove from grill. (Searing the steak a few minutes on the grill before placing it on the plank gives it the traditional grill marks, which helps prevent the meat from looking and tasting steamed.)

Remove plank from water; brush top with oil. Top with steak. Place on grate of grill; cover with lid. Reduce grill to medium heat.

Grill 15 minutes or until medium doneness (160ºF), brushing steak with 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce for the last 5 minutes of the grilling time.

Remove steak from grill; discard plank.

Cover steak loosely with foil; let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak into thin slices.

Serve with the remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and grilled corn on the cob.
