Marinated Flank Steak and White Bean Puree Bruschetta

Once a month i take a trip to Costco to check out what they have , last week while there i found some really fresh and good looking Flank Steak . Decided on making Bruschetta with white bean puree and topped with the grilled flank steak and caramelized onions, YUMMMM!!! I'll add the recipe for the white bean puree next. Flank Steak should be served medium rare or the meat will toughen up.

1 Flank Steak about 2 lb.
2 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of rice vinegar
3 cloves of garlic chopped
Salt and pepper to taste ( be careful when salting it since the soy sauce has a lot of sodium)
a few drops of hot sauce if you like it spicy

Whisk all ingredients but the steak in a bowl . Place steak in a large ziplock bag and pour the marinate on it. Refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 24 hours.

Remove the bag from the refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking so the steak won't be cold when grilled. You should always have your meat at room temperature before you cook it.
Preheat a outside grill to 500F, or if you want to use a grill pan on your stove top, just get it sizzling hot before you cook the steak.
Place the meat on the grill and cook on high for 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the grill and place on a cutting board, let the meat rest for 10 minutes. With a sharp knife slice it against the grain, the thinner the tastier!
