Marinade
2 -3 cloves garlic, minced

salt
pepper
hot sauce or hot pepper flakes

Preparation

Works well with chicken or pork too.
Score the steak by making Xs with a sharp knife.
Marinate at least 3 hours.
(I usually prepare it the night before I use it).
Grill (or broil) to the desired degree of doneness.
Slice and serve with potatoes or rice and a salad.
Hint: when using flank or skirt steak make sure you slice AGAINST THE GRAIN or it will be too tough to eat!
