In shallow glass baking dish, combine all ingredients except steak and mix well. Add steak, turn to cover and coat. Cover and place in fridge at least 4 hours to marinate, turning a couple of times.

Heat grill. When ready to grill, remove steaks from marinade and reserve marinade. Place steaks on the grill over medium heat. Cover grill. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until steaks are of desired doneness, turning once and brushing occasionally with marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
