Make It

1. Score both sides of meat with knife in diamond pattern at 1-inch intervals.

3. To cook, prepare outdoor grill with hot coals, or heat gas grill to hot (to broil, see below). Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.

4. Grill about 2 minutes per side or until grill marks appear. Move to cooler part of grill; cook covered, 12 minutes or until instant-read meat thermometer inserted in center of meat registers 145 degrees F. Let meat rest 10 minutes before slicing.
