Grilled Sirloin Teriyaki

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tbsp packed dark brown sugar
• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp grated ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 lb boneless sirloin steak, about 1/2 inch thick, trimmed of all visible fat

Make 4 servings (3 slices per serving)

1. Prepare the grill for direct heat cooking or heat a grill pan.
2. To make the marinade, in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ginger, garlic and red pepper. Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely, about 15 minutes. Transfer the teriyaki sauce to a large bowl and add the steak, turning to coat; marinate 30 minutes.
3. Grill the steak directly over the heat or on the grill pan, 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from the heat, lightly tent with foil, and let stand 5 minutes. Cut into  12 slices and serve.

WW Points Value: 4 per serving

 

Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook and it has a new twist on sirloin that is quite delicious. It's an Asian-style beef that could pair nicely with rice and a cucumber salad. The marinade also works well with fish and shellfish, chicken and pork. Eat your heart out, Iron Chef Morimoto!
