teriyaki steak

For extra special occasions only! This is too wonderful to have every night. This recipe is passed into our family by my great uncle Bruce. The story is, he got it from a Buddhist monk... It is better than candy, no joke. So easy and tasty. You can make it ahead of time, so it is perfect for entertaining.

In a large bowl
1/4tsp ground ginger
1/4tsp garlic powder
1/2tsp msg (a half a tsp isn't going to hurt anyone...)
1/2c brown sugar
1/2c honey
1c soy sauce
2tbsp oil
1/4tsp pepper
Whisk

In a rectangle glass dish or large tupperware place flank steak(s) and pour marinade over top cover and refrigerate
24hours min (I always make it a couple days ahead of time and it is extremely flavorful)
Then BBQ (on our propane BBQ it takes about 5 min on each side then an additional 2-3 min on each side)
When meat is cooked to your preference let sit for a few min so the juices can soak in
Then cut cross grain in long strips

Pass around, if there happens to be any leftovers (there never is in my family) refrigerate and have in a sandwich the next day. We usually serve it with with corn on the cob, pasta salad, fruit salad, potato salad, baked beans... all the summer staples!
