Steak Marinade

Received this recipe from a friend to use on flank steak and it is my favorite marinade. I am not fond of flank steak so I also tried it on pork and chicken. I think this is delicious on pork tenderloin but that is just my taste preference. I usually marinate the meat overnight for the best flavor. Also I prefer to use fresh garlic, fresh ginger and balsamic vineger instead of white vinegar, but again that is my taste preference. Prep time does not include marinating time. This may be barbecued or oven broiled.
