Place steaks in a zip lock bag or shallow container. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over the steak. Turn steak or container periodically to ensure all sides get covered with marinade.
Marinade for at least a couple of hours but overnight is even better. See Notes.
Bring steaks to room temperature. Heat grill to 450℉ and then reduce to medium heat.
For medium rare - grill steaks about 7 minutes on the first and 5 minutes for the second. Or an internal temperature of between 130-140℉. See the Grilling Chart in the Notes for internal temperatures and timing of other Doneness types.
You can boil the remaining marinade and serve on the side if desired.
If using a less tender steak cut such as flank or other cuts of sirloin marinade the full 24 hours to help tenderize.
