Ingredients

• 0.5 cup apple cider 
• 0.5 cup beer lager-style
• 1.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper 
• 4  grilled eggs (recipe below)
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 cup catsup 
• 2 teaspoons juice of lemon 
• 0.5 cup blackstrap molasses 
• 0.5 medium onion diced finely
• 1.5 teaspoons paprika 
• 4 servings salt and pepper freshly ground
• 2 pound strip steaks (1/)
• 2 tablespoons sugar 
• 1.5 teaspoons butter unsalted
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 
• 1.5 teaspoons worcestershire sauce 
• 1.5 teaspoons mustard yellow

Equipment

• frying pan
• sauce pan
• grill

Directions

1. Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients; bring to a boil, then simmer until the sauce is reduced to 2 cups, about 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium-high. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and rub with the oil. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
5. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
6. Serve with the beer-molasses sauce and the grilled eggs.
7. Place a cast-iron skillet on the grill; add butter, oil or bacon drippings. Crack in eggs and season to taste (the Neelys use a blend of paprika, sugar and onion powder, plus salt and pepper). Cook until the edges are crisp but the yolks are still runny, 2-3 minutes.
