Sauce:
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon style mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground

Strips:
2 pounds steak or chicken
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1 clove garlic, minced

For Sauce:
Combine all the ingredients in a sauce pan on medium heat. Stir until all ingredients are blended together and simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3. This will take about 20 minutes.

This sauce will be enough for 4 chicken breasts or 4 steaks. Salt and pepper meat and place it on a grill over medium heat. Lightly coat the chicken or steaks with BBQ sauce using a pastry brush. Continue grilling the meat while occasionally brushing it with additional BBQ sauce.

Chicken can be done in a baking dish in the oven at 375 degrees for 25 minutes and then add BBQ sauce for the last 15 minutes.

For Strips:
Mix the ingredients in a pan with an airtight lid. Put the meat in the pan and make sure the covers all the meat. Let marinate for at least 1/2 hour. Run meat through skewers and barbecue 2-3 minutes on each side.
