Flank Steak Marinade

I got this recipe off of Food Network from Alton Brown.  It is so, so good!  I will probably be using this as the marinade every time I make steak fajitas!

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 scallions, washed and cut in 1/2 (I didn't have any and used an onion instead and it turned out fine.)
2 large cloves garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons dark brown or Mexican brown sugar (I only had light so that's what I used.)
2 pounds flank steak cut into 3 equal pieces.

In a blender, put in oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, cumin, and sugar and puree.  In a large heavy duty, zip top bag, add steak and then pour the marinade over the meat.  Seal bag, removing as much air as possible.  Allow steak to marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator.

Remove steak from bag and discard the marinade.  Cook on a preheated grill over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes per side.

Let steak sit for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

3 ounces of steak is 6 points+.
