Directions

Mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Coat the steak in the mixture and let it marinate in a non-reactive bowl for 1 hour.

While marinating, begin cooking the relish (ingredients and directions below).

Place the steak over coals on a grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side until you reach a nice char and an internal temperature of 125-130 F.

Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes.

Cut the steaks against the grain and about the thickness of a No. 2 pencil.

Place on plates and top with the relish.

The chef says this cut of steak is best served medium rare or medium.
