Recipe - Teriyaki Flank Steak With Shiitakes

1/3 cup Reducedsodium soy sauce
1/3 cup Dry sherry
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
2 teaspoon Honey
3 Garlic cloves; minced
1 tablespoon Grated fresh ginger
1/3 cup Chopped scallions
12 Whole scallions
1 One half pound Flank steak; well trimmed
12 Shiitake mushrooms

The honey in the teriyaki sauce helps caramelize the outside of this
marinated flank steak to a crusty, flavorful goodness. Cut the meat into
very thin slices and serve with grilled, skewered mushrooms and scallions.

1. In a shallow dish just large enough to hold the meat, combine the soy
sauce, sherry, oil, honey, garlic, ginger and chopped scallions. Whisk
until the honey is dissolved. Add the flank steak and turn to coat both
sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours,
turning occasionally.

2. Prepare a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill. Remove the meat from
the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim the whole scallions,
leaving 2 inches of the green tops. Toss the scallions and mushrooms in the
marinade to coat, then thread onto metal skewers.

3. Grill the meat, turning once, to the desired degree of doneness, 8 to
10 minutes for rare, 12 to 15 minutes for mediumrare to medium.
Let the meat sit for 5 minutes before cutting into thin slices at a sharp
diagonal across the grain.

4. Meanwhile, grill the skewered mushrooms and scallions at the edge of the
grill until the vegetables soften and the edges are charred, about 4
minutes.

5. Arrange the meat on a platter, place the skewered vegetables on top, and
serve.

Note: If you're going to use a marinade as a sauce, set aside a portion of
the marinade before adding the raw meat to it to prevent bacteria from
contaminating the sauce. If you want to use leftover marinade as a table
sauce, bring it to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Boil it for 3
minutes to kill any potentially harmful bacteria transferred from the raw
meat.
