• Gather the ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.

Prepare the Ingredients

• Using a Santoku or Chef’s knife and a cutting board, mince 1 clove garlic.
If using fresh sweet onion, dice 1/4 cup.
• Squeeze 3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice using a citrus juicer (or your hand.)

Make the Marinade

• In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon dried minced onion, minced garlic, lime or lemon juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce. Mix well until the brown sugar is dissolved.
• Place 2 pounds sirloin steak in a gallon freezer bag. Pour marinade over steaks. Shake the bag until the steaks are nicely coated.
• Seal the bag and place inside a large bowl to help protect against accidental spills. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
• Prepare grill for cooking. While coals are heating, remove steaks from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Allow your steaks to set out at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
• Grill the steaks for 4-6 minutes or each side until cooked to desired doneness. You may also broil in oven if desired. Serves 4
