Flank Steak With Whiskey Sauce

This sauce is an interesting alternative to a typical red wine sauce and adds a depth of flavor that is quite unique. These steaks are great broiled or grilled.

Directions

1. Combine teriyaki sauce, 1-1/2 t. chopped garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire and pepper sauce in medium-size non-aluminum bowl. Add steak and turn several times to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
2. Preheat broiler or grill.
3. Prepare sauce: Stir together cornstarch and broth in glass liquid measure until combined. Heat margarine in small saucepan over medium heat until bubbly. Add onion and remaining chopped garlic; cook 2 minutes or until onion begins to soften. Remove from heat.

Re-stir cornstarch mixture and add to saucepan along with parsley and pepper; stir to combine. Return to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. For grilling: Place meat on a grill over medium-high heat. Grill steak for 5-8 minutes on each side.
7. Let meat stand 5 minutes. Slice across grain. Serve with sauce.
