Father's Day Flank Steak

Story:
I didn't grow up eating much steak. But when we did, I think it was always this recipe. I absolutely LOVE it. I called it Father's Day Flank Steak, because I only remembering having it on Father's Day. That may be a delusional memory, but I can still picture my dad on the back porch over the little charcoal grill getting the coals just right to cook this thing to perfection. When it was done, and he brought it in, my mom would slice it into really thin slices, and we would each get 1 1/2 to 2 slices each. Oh, the flavor was to savor!

This is what my little family had for our Christmas dinner this year. Simple and tasty and, since we don't eat much steak either, a nice treat.

Anyway, I'll stop drooling and give you the marinade:

Ingredients:
1/4 C soy sauce
2 T honey
2 T vinegar
1 1/2 T ground ginger
1 1/2 T garlic powder
3/4 C oil
3 finely chopped green onions
(and of course a flank steak!)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. I put them all in a 9x13. Marinate the steak for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Grill for about 5 minutes on each side. (I did mine on my "George Foreman grill" and it turned out great.)
Don't forget to serve it in thin little slices to maximize the enjoyment!
