By pattie_d

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2/3 cup V8 juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• Sweet peppers, cored and sliced; zucchini, trimmed and sliced; red onion, sliced; and on-the-vine cherry tomatoes (optional)
• Corn tortillas (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, V8 juice, olive oil, chili powder, garlic and cumin.

2. Add steak and marinate in refrigerator at least 8 hours or overnight.

3. Remove steak from bag and discard marinade.

4. Heat a gas grill to medium-high or a charcoal grill to medium-hot coals. Grill steak for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until internal temperature registers 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Remove steak from grill and cover with foil. Let rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Meanwhile, grill peppers, zucchini, onion and tomatoes, if desired. Serve sliced steak with warmed corn tortillas and grilled vegetables, if desired.
