Belgian Beef Skewers with Beer Barbecue Sauce

For the most tender results use sirloin fillet. Serve with grilled potato and onion slices and a tomato salad. This sauce is also excellent with pork and turkey.

Barbecue Sauce:

1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped onion
1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
1/2 cup (125 mL) ale
1 cup (250 mL) tomato ketchup
2 tbsp (25 mL) brown sugar
1 tsp (5 mL) hot pepper sauce
Salt to taste

1 1/2 lb (750 g) boneless beef, cut in 1-inch (2.5-cm) cubes

1. To make sauce, combine all ingredients in pot. Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce thickens.

2. Thread beef on to skewers and brush with barbecue sauce. Grill on high heat, lid down, for about 5 to 6 minutes per side for a total of 10 to 12 minutes or until still pink in centre. Serve with extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
