Aunt Nancy’s Cheese Puffs

A grilled flank steak that has been brushed with beer barbecue sauce and is gleaming and smokey is one of life’s few truly lovely things. Any beer will do, but if at all possible, choose one that is more bitter. The background bitterness of the beer really makes this sauce stand out.
