    Add the flank steaks and turn to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. 3
    Bring the steaks to room temperature.

    Prepare coals for grilling or preheat the broiler.
  5. 5
    Drain the steaks, reserving the marinade.
  6. 6
    Place the marinade in a large skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue boiling until the liquid is syrupy and mahogany-colored, about 10 minutes.

    Remove from the heat and let cool. (There should be about 1 cup of glaze.).
  8. 8
    Brush the glaze on both sides of the steaks.
  9. 9
    Grill or broil the steaks 4 inches from the heat until nicely glazed, about 5 minutes.

    Holding a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle, cut the steaks across the grain into thin slices.
  14. 14
    Transfer the meat to a warmed platter, top with the pan drippings, and serve immediately.
