Chicago Special

The Chicago Special was a popular way to serve a grilled steak at the turn of the 20th century. While the garlic-and-olive-oil-rubbed steak is on the grill, saute the mushrooms on the side burner in a sauce made from beer, which will deliver a delectable steak topping or side.

Ingredients for the Steak:

• Sirloin or T-bone steak (3/4 to 1 inch thick)
• 1 or more cloves of garlic, depending on taste, for each steak
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
