1 (1 1/4 pound) flank steak
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 small clove garlic, crushed

Place steak in a large shallow dish. Combine remaining ingredients, stirring well. Pour over steak; cover and marinate in refrigerator 4 hours, turning steak occasionally.

Drain steak, reserving marinade. Grill steak over hot coals 7 to 10 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness, basting often with marinade.

To serve, slice steak across grain into thin slices.

Yields 4 servings.
