Flank steak is marinated to tender perfection then cooked on the grill. The marinade is then cooked and turned into a tasty Asian-style dipping sauce.

PREPARATION:
SCORE steak diagonally across grain at 3/4-inch intervals.
COMBINE oil and next 7 ingredients in a shallow dish or heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add steak. Cover or seal, and chill 8 hours, turning occasionally.
REMOVE steak from marinade, reserving marinade.
GRILL steak, covered with grill lid, over high heat (400 to 500 degrees) about 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
