    Grilled Steaks With Apricot Glaze Recipe

    A sweet steak glaze may not be the most common thing you’d see in a meal, but this kind of steak accompaniment does wonders for the flavors of both your beef and the sweet ingredients that you use.

    Grilled Steaks With Apricot Glaze

    In this recipe, you’ll be drawing out this sweetness with the use of apricot preserves and orange juice. Most store-bought preserves contain unwanted sugars making it difficult to find Paleo-friendly ones, but making some at home is actually quite easy.

    If you have apricot preserves on hand, this dish can be cooked in a short amount of time. Overall, this is a perfect meal to serve up on those nights when you feel like grilling and don’t want to be cooking for hours on end.

    While we think this sweet-spicy glaze is a perfect pairing, the amount of Cajun seasoning – as written, will definitely lean towards the spicier side, so adjust your seasoning down if you don’t like a lot of heat in your meal.

    Also, pay close attention if your spice blend contains salt (and it goes without saying any non-Paleo ingredients). If it doesn't, you may want to add some salt while seasoning the steak.

    This apricot glaze also pairs well with chicken if you're looking to use up any leftovers. To wrap up your meal, try serving with a roasted vegetable side like this roasted garden vegetable medley.
