GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Category: Beef Steaks

1 beef flank steak, scored
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup reduced salt soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup tomato juice

Place steak in a shallow glass dish. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over steak. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove the meat from the marinade and let it come to room temperature.

Grill over hot coals or broil 4 inches from the heat until rare (3 minutes per side) or medium rare (4 minutes per side). Allow meat to rest five minutes before carving. Carve crosswise at a slight angle into 1/4 inch thick slices.

Serve with a hearty red wine such as Chateau Grande Cassagne Rouge, a Rhone, or a California Cabernet or Syrah.
