Flank steak marinade

Unknown

Anyone have a suggestion for a flank steak marinade? I am looking for something sweet, like a brown sugar and soy type. I was at a restaraunt in Epcot that served a flank that was a little sweet and it was fantastic.

AU,
Check out the Good Eats episode 'Raising The Steaks'. AB has a good marinade for skirt/flank steak. I tried it last weekend for fajitas and they were great! You can find the recipe on the Food Network website:[p]TNW

The Naked Whiz,
You put the meat directly on the hot coals like the recipe calls for?!

New Bob,[p]I am also highly suspicious of putting the steak ON THE COALS. Anyone tried this?

Recipe sounds good. I don't know if I am brave enough to put directly on the coals.:)

AU -
I use this one a lot... I forget where I got the recipe, but it's terrific!![p]1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (1 1/2-pound) beef flank steak[p]Combine, then marinate overnight.[p]

yoyo_in_atlanta,
I'm pretty sure the Whiz has done regular steak directly on the lump. The lump should be good and hot.
The Whiz will chime in and let us know.[p]Cheers,

AU,
Yes, I have put steak directly on the coals. I get a real laugh out of this. Everyone I know who has ever tried this (including me) had something else to cook in reserve in case it didn't work out. So far, nobody has ever had to use their backup, as far as I know. Go for it. Especially with cheap meat like flank steak (ok, compared to a 2" thick ribeye....).[p]TNW

Try the Ginger Flank Steak recipe at Epicurious.com
The recipe suggests reducing and thickening the marinade.
It works great.[p]http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/106314?epiSearchPage=http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/find/results?threshold=5800&search=flank+steak&search2=sugar
