Easy Marinade

Asian Barbecue Steak

1 beef top round steak, cut 3/4 in thick (about 1 lb) (I used a 2-3lb London Broil)
Salt & Pepper
Sliced green onions (optional)

Marinade:

1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tsp minced fresh ginger

Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Remove and refrigerate 1/2 cup for sauce. (Since I used a larger cut of meat I used the entire sauce to marinade and made a little extra to serve with it when we ate.)

Place beef steak and marinade in a Ziploc bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in a refrigerator 6 hrs or overnight, turning occasionally.

Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill, uncovered, 9-11 minutes over medium heat, for medium rare doneness, turning occasionally.

Meanwhile, pour reserved marinade into small microwave-safe dish; cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until heated through, stirring every 30 seconds.

Carve steak into thin slices; season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve with sauce and green onions, if desired.
