Barbecued chuck steak

Grilled with Kraft Barbecue Sauce. It simmers real cookout flavor all through the meat.

To make a hit with boys, serve steak! First score fat edge of steak at 1-inch intervals. Place steak in plastic bag; add enough barbecue sauce to coat. Marinate in refrigerator overnight. Drain. Cook on greased grill, turning occasionally and brushing generously with barbecue sauce, to desired doneness. Slice on diagonal. Serve in loaves with Grilled Onions: Slice onions; grill slowly, brushing with barbecue sauce.
