Prep Time

Servings

3-4

1 lb lean sirloin steak, trimmed of fat, about 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick (500 g)

1/4 cup light soy sauce (60 mL)

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (60 mL)

2 Tbsp canola oil (30 mL)

2 Tbsp granulated sugar (30 mL)

1/2 tsp dried pepper flakes (2 mL)

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, place steak, soy sauce, canola oil, sugar, vinegar, pepper flakes and salt. Seal tightly and shake back and forth to allow ingredients to blend evenly. Refrigerate 24 to 48 hours, turning occasionally.
  2. Preheat grill or broiler. Coat a cold grill rack or broiler rack with canola oil cooking spray, place over grill or broiler pan. Remove beef from marinade, reserving marinade. Place beef on top of rack and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from rack and place on cutting board. Let steak rest for about 5 minutes before thinly slicing diagonally against the grain.
  3. Meanwhile, place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.  Watch carefully not to reduce more than 1/4 cup. Remove from heat. Place sliced beef on serving platter and pour sauce evenly over all.
