I love summer grilling season when you can come home from work and within a half hour be sitting down to a quick-grilled dinner. Even better when it’s as delicious as this strip loin steak, marinated in a simple mix of Asian flavours.

The beef can take the marinade for up to 24 hours. So with 5 minutes of advance preparation, this recipe will be ready to cook as soon as you can get home and heat up the grill. 

I like to use strip loin steak for this recipe but any decent cut will do.

The small amount of sugar that is added to the marinade caramelizes on the surface of the meat for extra flavour. The caramelization  is delicious with the other flavours of soy sauce, five spice and garlic.

We served these great steaks with some grilled corn on the cob and a simple side salad for a completely satisfying meal.
