1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot

In a small bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients; set aside 3 tablespoons for filling. Pour remaining mixture into a shallow dish. Add the steak and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate for 2 hours.

2.
Drain steak and discard marinade. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 8-11 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
