We make this super-easy, super-tasty dish all year long. The bold combination of soy sauce, balsamic, and maple syrup works its magic on the meat quickly, so it only needs to marinate for as long as it takes to get your grill fired up. In the fall and winter, we pair this steak with maple-sweetened butternut squash. Come summer, it's a natural with a tomato salad and corn on the cob.

Cooks’ notes:

•Steaks can be marinated up to 8 hours.
•Steaks can be cooked in a hot oiled 2-burner grill pan over medium-high heat.
