Memphis-Style Strip with Beer and Molasses Sauce

• Three 16-ounce, 1/2-inch-thick prime-aged New York strip steaks
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 2 strips thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/2 medium onion, finely diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup apple cider
• 1/4 cup lager-style beer
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

1. Rub the steaks with the oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
3. Add the bacon, onion, and garlic, and saute for 3 minutes, or until softened.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the sauce is reduced and thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high.
6. Grill the steaks for about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare; brush the steaks with sauce during the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
7. Allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes, then slice on the diagonal, and serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
