I remember the first time I tried a maple dijon glaze. It was at a small bistro in Vermont during a leaf-peeping trip. The flavors were so unexpected, yet so perfectly balanced, that I knew I had to recreate it at home. This recipe is my attempt to capture that same magic, and honestly? I think I've nailed it! It's got that sweet tang that just makes your taste buds sing. Picture this: a perfectly grilled steak, glistening with a rich, amber glaze, the aroma filling your kitchen... pure bliss, isnt it?
Grilling steak can feel a little daunting, but don't worry, I'm gonna walk you through every single step. We're talking about achieving that beautiful sear, that juicy, tender interior, and that incredible smoky flavor that only a grill can provide. Plus, the maple dijon glaze is so simple to whip up, it practically makes itself! This glaze isnt just for steak either; its works wonders on chicken and salmon too! Feel free to expirement!!

A meat thermometer is what is needed to check the internal temperature for that perfect done-ness.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prep the Steak: Take your steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling. This allows them to come closer to room temperature, which helps them cook more evenly.
- Pat Dry: Use paper towels to pat the steaks completely dry. Moisture is the enemy of a good sear! A dry surface will caramelize beautifully.
- Season Generously: Season both sides of the steaks liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Don't be shy; this is your chance to build flavor.
- Make the Maple Dijon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and olive oil. Set aside.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Steaks: Place the steaks on the preheated grill. For medium-rare (130-135°F or 54-57°C), grill for about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the time based on your preferred doneness.
- Brush with Glaze: During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the steaks generously with the maple dijon glaze. The sugars in the maple syrup will caramelize, creating a beautiful, sticky crust. Be careful not to burn the glaze; lower the heat if necessary.
- Check the Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding bone.
- Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and place them on a clean plate or cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately. Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the bowl.
📝 Notes
- For best results, use high-quality maple syrup.
- Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of your steaks and your desired level of doneness.
- A meat thermometer is essential for ensuring your steak is cooked to perfection.
