London Broil Marinade

This recipe is excellent for a flank steak or a london broil because it makes a pretty cheap cut of beef taste pretty, well, tasty. In my area london broil always seems to be on sale and half a $5 packet will feed more than James and myself for a dinner leaving leftovers for lunch (the other half gets frozen). The key to making this tough cut tender is to let it rest after being removed from the grill and thinly slice it against the grain.

2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoon vegetable oil (don't substitute olive oil, the fruity taste is too overpowering)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 teaspoons crushed ginger
4 pounds flank steak

In a gallon zip bag, mix together garlic, salt, soy sauce, ketchup, vegetable oil, black pepper and ginger. Add meat and refrigerate overnight. Flip meat every few hours. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate. Place meat on the prepared grill. Cook for 3 to 7 minutes per side and under cook it a smidgen. Remove from grill and tent with foil for about 10 minutes. The meat will continue to cook and the juices will be released. Cut thinly across the grain and serve!
