A Memorial Day treat that's sure to please...

2 flank steaks - 2 pounds each

the rub...

1 t salt
1 T pepper
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t allspice
1 T sugar
1 t chili powder
1/4 t ground cumin
1 t dried thyme

the glaze...

1 1/2 c Captain Morgan's or any dark rum
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c molasses
1/2 c red wine vinegar
1 small cinnamon stick
1 T sambal olek - sambal oelek is made of chilies with no other additives such as garlic or spices found in Asian markets - you might find it in the specialty section at your store
1 T dijon mustard
1 T sweet soy sauce
1/4 c fresh ginger grated

mix all the ingredients for the rub and rub the steaks all over - wrap tightly in plastic wrap and into the fridge for 2 days

get the grill going

mix all the ingredients for the glaze in a pot and cook over low to medium heat and reduce it to 2/3 so it's nice and syrupy - maybe 25 minutes

grill the steaks over high to medium rare - no more - maybe 3 - 4 minutes per side

dredge the steaks in the glaze and let them rest maybe 5 minutes - then back on the hotest part of the grill for 30 - 45 seconds per side

slice the steaks THIN across the grain at an angle

you can serve this with any left over glaze

potato salad, green bean salad and corn on the cob with garlic butter and grated parmesan cheese

this will feed 5-6

SUMMER IS HERE - MANJA!!!
