Glaze your steak with this delicious recipe with apricot preserves, brown sugar, soy sauce and garlic. It’s so delicious!
While summer is a popular time of year for breaking out the BBQ and lighting up the charcoal, fall brings us another reason to barbecue – tailgating!
When it comes to a menu for a tailgate party, it’s always fun to shake things up once in a while.
There are the old favorites like burgers, hot dogs, and plain ol’ steaks and and chicken breasts.
But I like to change things up now and then with a bit more of a bold and unique flavor. That is exactly what you get with this apricot glazed steak recipe.
I got the idea from a recipe for chicken wings that my mom used to make back when I was in high schoolthatused apricot baby food as its base. If you haven’t shopped for baby food in a while, they don’t make plain apricot any more!
Apricots are no longer a “stand-alone” fruit for babies–it’s always mixed with sweet potatoes, bananas or some other flavor. So, I turned to apricot preserves for this recipe and am glad I did. It gives it a much bigger flavor boost!
This apricot glazed steak recipe has an Asian flair and its marinade develops a sweet and savory glaze on the meat that I find almost irresistible.
At first I wasn’t sure which type of beef to use, but after browsing for beef at Walmart, I decided on the thin sliced sirloin tip steak. I think it’s a great choice because it cooks quickly, but doesn’t get too try. Next time I may experiment with other cuts of beef as well.
I almost forgot to mention thata BIG bonus is that this recipe is EXTREMELY easy to make!

What to Serve with Apricot Glazed Steak:
There are lots of choices for sides to this recipe. Since it has a bit of an Asian flavor, I served it with a Chinese cabbage slaw, as well as some corn on the cob.
Herbed potatoes, veggie skewers or even rice would also compliment it well.
To make this more of a hand-held outdoor meal, just cut the meat into strips and cook on skewers.
