Ingredients

1/2

cup sake, dry white wine or beef broth

1/2

cup soy sauce

1/4

cup Worcestershire sauce

2

tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

2

tablespoons grated gingerroot

1

tablespoon lime juice

1

tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1

teaspoon dark sesame oil

2

cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 1/2

lb beef flank steak

Preparation

In 13x9-inch glass baking dish, beat all ingredients except beef with wire whisk. Add beef to dish or plastic food storage bag, turning several times. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

Adjust oven rack so top of beef will be about 3 inches from heat. Set oven control to broil. Line broiler pan with foil. Remove beef from marinade; set marinade aside. Pat beef dry with paper towels and place in broiler pan. Broil 7 minutes per side or until beef is medium-rare (135°F). Remove beef from broiler. Cover with foil and allow to rest.

Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat reserved marinade to boiling over high heat; boil and stir 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.

Remove foil and place beef on cutting board. Use sharp knife to cut beef against the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Serve with hot marinade.
