MARINADE SAUCE FOR FLANK STEAK 
This is the finest marinade for steak (or chicken) fajitas in the world. You will need:

1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 cup medium dry sherry
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 sliced scallions
dash cayenne pepper
1 tsp. lemon pepper
dash salt
juice from one lime
2 cloves minced garlic
2 lbs. flank steak (London Broil or top sirloin)

Mix all ingredients and beat with fork. Freeze steak for 30 minutes, then cut against the grain into 1/2-inch wide strips, about 4-inches long. Throw the steak into the marinade and let sit, covered, in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Remove steak and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Drain the marinade, reserving for basting. Throw steak onto grill and baste with reserved marinade. This is the best fajita recipe in the world, and you will love it.

Cooks Note: If using the remaining marinade for basting, bring it to a boil for 20 minutes first. We prefer to make a second batch of marinade just for basting.

This was really awesome! I didn't have sherry so I subbed white wine.... Sherry is on my shopping list now so I can follow the recipe exactly next time. I doubled the marinade, drained before grilling over charcoal, and reduced the marinade on the stovetop until it thickened. Served with Guy Fieri's Mambo Rice, grilled corn, and tomato and cucumber salad. It was delicious and is now in the rotation as a keeper recipe. Thank you!
