INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup gin
- 1 tablespoon dry vermouth
- 1 tablespoon green olive brine
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 4 (1/2 pound) beef sirloin steaks

PREPARATION:
In a medium bowl, combine onion, garlic, barbecue sauce, gin, vermouth, olive brine, and basil.
