Directions

Be sure that the grill is properly preheated and that the rack has been cleaned. Trim any visible fat from the flank steak and place it in a shallow dish. Add all of the remaining ingredients, except for the broth and roasted shallots. Turn the steak a few times to coat it evenly, then let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.

When ready to grill, lightly rub the rods of the rack with a little vegetable oil and remove any excess with a clean cloth. Remove the steak from the marinade and scrape off any excess. Grill the steak on one side for about 6 to 7 minutes, then turn the steak and cook to the desired doneness. While the steak is grilling, transfer the marinade to a saucepan and bring it to a full boil. Add the broth and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.

Taste the sauce and add lime juice, Tabasco sauce, or cilantro to taste if needed. Allow the steak to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice it thinly on an angle. Serve the steak topped with the sauce and sprinkle with the shallots.

Makes 6 servings.
