Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef flank steak or boneless top sirloin or top round steak, cut 3/4 inch thick
  • MARINADE
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 large cloves garlic, crushed

Directions

Combine lime juice, sugar, oil, Worcestershire and garlic in small bowl. Place beef steak and lime mixture in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or overnight; turning occasionally.

Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10 to 11 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, times remain the same) for medium rare (145°F) doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.)

Carve steak into thin slices. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
