1 beef flank steak (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
1/2 c. dark soy sauce
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. sherry
2 cloves garlic, slivered
Few drops hot pepper sauce

Score both sides of steak; place in glass dish.

Combine remaining ingredients in saucepan. Heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Cool; pour over meat. Marinate in refrigerator for 4-6 hours, turning occasionally.

Grill over hot coals or broil quickly (3-4 minutes on each side for rare), brushing with marinade. Slice thinly on diagonal.

Serve as main course with snow peas, steamed rice, and hot mustard or chutney. Or thread sliced meat on skewers and serve as hors d'oeuvres, keeping warm in hot marinade. Serves 4-6. Great for sandwiches next day.
