- 5 whole Dried Ancho Chiles
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

- First things first ... Youll want to reconstitute the dried ancho chilies.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, place the dried chilies in the boiling water, weight them down with a plate or a bowl (to make sure theyre fully submersed in the water), and remove pot from the heat.
- Cover pot with a lid and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- When the ancho chilies have reconstituted youll want to remove them from the water and allow the water to dry off.
- Then carefully remove the seeds and the skin, and place the pulp in a food processor.
- Add the garlic, red wine vinegar, oil, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper.
- Process until completely smooth.
- Place the steak and the marinade in a resealable plastic bag, seal it and allow it to marinate overnight in the fridge.
- To grill, remove the steak from the bag (make sure you reserve the marinade) and place steak on a plate.
- Allow it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or so.
- Heat a grill over medium heat.
- When grill is hot put the steak on and grill the steak for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred done-ness.
- Remove steak from the grill onto a platter.
- Let the steak sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, then slice against the grain.
- For the sauce, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and add the water and the 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Stir to combine and bring to a boil then heat until the sauce is reduced by half and very thick.
- Serve hot sauce over the sliced steak.
