I thought this was good, but could have been better. The sauce is great, spicy-sweet; I subbed 1T honey for 1T of the brown sugar, and cut back on the worcestershire by 1t. But a flank steak with just salt and pepper? Too tough! Marinate it first; I used 1/4C of store-bought BBQ seasoning mixed with 1T each of oil, water and cider vinegar and let it sit 2 hours. It was great, we will keep this!
