Steak With Apricots

Directions

1. 1
   In a bowl, mix apricot nectar, orange juice, honey, mustard, and horseradish. Rinse meat and put in a plastic food bag; add 1/3 cup of the apricot sauce. Seal bag and let stand 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Reserve remaining apricot sauce.
2. 2
   Cut apricots in half and discard pits. Lift steaks from bag and discard the marinade.
3. 3
   Lay steaks on a grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas barbecue (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds). Lay apricot halves on grill and brush with some of reserved apricot sauce. Cook steak, turning once, until done to your liking, 8 to 10 minutes total for medium-rare (pink in center, cut to test). Cook apricots until hot and lightly browned, about 5 minutes total; as cooked, transfer to a platter and keep warm.
4. 4
   Heat the rest of the reserved apricot sauce until boiling in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave oven at full power (100%) or in a pan on direct heat. Serve sauce with steaks and apricots, adding salt and pepper to taste.
