Ingredients
Marinade:2 Tbsp Soy Sauce1 Cup Pineapple Juice (Orange is ok, but not as good)1 Tbsp Candied Ginger (fresh is ok - shred before adding)2 Cloves Garlic1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar1 tsp Dried Red Pepper Flakes (optional - use to taste)1 tsp Allspice1 tsp Ground Cloves (whole cloves ok)1 lb Flank Steak
Directions
In a two quart bowl, combine the soy sauce and pineapple juice. Using a garlic press, press the candied ginger into the liquid, then the cloves of garlic. Add the brown sugar and whisk until it is mostly dissolved. Add the red pepper, allspice, and ground cloves. Whisk until well mixed. Reserve up to 1/4 cup of the marinade if you want to baste the steak during cooking. Do not reuse marinade after the meat has been in it.

Marinate the steak in the mixture for at least 30 minutes. For strongest flavor, marinate overnight. Discard marinade.

Grill or broil the steak according to package directions, usually 15-18 minutes for a 3/4 inch steak.

Serves 4 4 oz servings. You'll actually eat fewer calories than this estimate, since you discard most of the marinade. Flank steak is about 180 calories per 4 oz serving.
