Recipe Ingredients

1		Flank steak - (abt 2 lbs)
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
		Asian Barbecue Sauce
1 tablespoon	15ml	Vegetable oil
2		Garlic cloves - chopped
1		Onion - minced (small)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Chopped fresh ginger
1/4 cup	59ml	Mirin wine or sake
1/4 cup	40g / 1.4oz	Brown sugar
1/4 cup	59ml	Hoisin sauce
1/4 cup	59ml	Rice vinegar
1/4 cup	59ml	Tomato puree
		Soy sauce - to taste
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Hot pepper flakes

Recipe Instructions

Season the steak with salt and pepper and set aside.

To make the sauce, heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over high temperature. Add the garlic, onion, and ginger and saute until they begin to give off their aroma, 2 or 3 minutes. Add the mirin and brown sugar and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until half the liquid has evaporated. Add the hoisin, vinegar, and tomato puree. Simmer the mixture on low heat for another 5 minutes, or until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Season with the soy sauce and hot pepper flakes.

Rub the steak with about 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce. Set the steak aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Place the steak on the prepared grill (barbecue) and baste with the barbecue sauce while cooking. Cook the steak about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare; no longer, or it will get tough.

Set the steak aside for 2 minutes before slicing. Then serve on dinner plates accompanied by little dishes of the remaining barbecue sauce for dipping -- and plenty of napkins!

This recipe yields 4 servings.
