Preparation

Step 1

To prepare sauce, combine first 8 ingredients in a small bowl, stir well.

Place oven reack 4 inches from broiler; preheat broiler.

Rub both sides of steak with smashed garlic clove; discard garlic. Season steak with salt and pepper. Broil steak for 4 to 6 minutes on one side, flip and broil on second side until well-browned on outside and still pink in center; about 4 to 6 minutes more. Start testing steak for doneness after a total of 8 minutes.

To serve, remove steak from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes (to reabsorb juices) before thinly slicing against grain; serve with sauce on the side.
