In a large non-metallic dish, mix all the marinade ingredients together. Place the steaks in the marinade and coat on both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours or, if time allows, overnight, turning once.

Remove the steaks from the marinade and cook under a preheated moderate grill or on a prepared barbecue according to your preference. Set aside to rest on a warm plate.

Serve the steaks with saute mushrooms and onions and potato wedges.



Tips: 

Ask your butcher about flat-iron steaks, they are a tasty and less expensive cut.
