Grilled Flank Steak

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger root OR 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation

Step 1

Trim excess fat from steak; score steak on both sides in 1 1/2 inch squares. Place steak in a large shallow dish or zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag. Combine oil and remaining ingredients in a container and mix well. Pour over steak. Cover or seal; marinate in refrigerator 8 hours, turning occasionally.

Drain steak, reserving marinade. Grill, covered, over medium coals (350 F.) 6 to 8 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness, basting twice with marinade. Discard any marinade that remains. To serve, slice steak across the grain into thin slices. Yield: 6 servings. Note: Steak may be grilled ahead of time and served cold.
