Instructions

Marinate. Add all ingredients to a gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag, seal the bag, and squish everything around to coat. Put the bag onto a plate and chill in the fridge 8 hours (or up to 24 hours).
Grill. Preheat a grill to high heat. Grill the steak until done to your liking, about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium, flipping once. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Gluten Free Version: Instead of soy sauce, use tamari sauce or coconut aminos.
Paleo Version: Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce, and coconut sugar or honey instead of brown sugar.
