Special Precautions and Tips:

• To make sure the marinade penetrates the steak, use a fork to poke holes in the steak before marinating.
• If you don't have time to marinate the steak for long, you can still get great flavor by marinating for as little as 30 minutes.
• Don't overcook the steak, as it will become tough and dry.
