Applebee's Honey Pepper Sirloin

Popular restaurant recipes are sometimes not that complicated :-)

Applebee's recently introduced their honey pepper grill which features a delicious sauce flavored with pure honey and the spice of cracked black pepper.  After trying their honey pepper sirloin, I knew these wonderful flavors could be recreated at home.  You will find the secret recipe for this tasty dish below.

If you like this honey pepper sauce, then you should also try it out on grilled chicken and salmon.  Never be afraid to experiment as sometimes, you might just discover that a certain sauce that you had been religiously pouring over your chicken dish, actually tasted better on fish!

Whatever you do, enjoy.. :-)
