KitchenManiac's Note:

Dad has forsaken many a meal outside, just so that he wouldn't miss out in this meal at home. Try it, and you will see the wonderful effect it has. :)

This had a great teriyaki type of flavor in the meat. The garlic turned out nicely; the grilling sweetened it and gave it a nice smoky flavor. A great way to have steak! I'll definitely make this recipe again! Thanks!

This steak was great. Full of flavour and very tender. I pan fried mine. I didn't make the garlic kebabs but served this with roast pumpkin, sweet potato and potato with steamed broccoli.
