With a strongly nonlocal model, we present an analytical solution of the coherent interaction of two Gaussian beams with an arbitrary phase difference and arbitrary incident angles. Numerical simulations show that the analytical solution can describe the interaction of two Gaussian beams very well in the strongly nonlocal case. It is theoretically shown that one can steer lights in strongly nonlocal media by tuning the incident conditions of coherently interacting beams like the phase difference between beams and their relative amplitude.
