½ cup Balsamic Vinegar
3 Tbs. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
2T bs. Garlic, minced
1 Tbs. Shallot, minced
1 Tbs. Ginger, fresh, minced
1 tsp. Dry thyme
1 tsp. Red pepper flakes

Method:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and let stand for 30 minutes.

the whole thing, then just cut steaks from that. This method would
be good when serving 6-8 guests or if you’re just really hungry.
