1/4 honey
1/4 water

Instructions:
In a large zip lock bag place all ingredients except the steak. Once all ingredients are in bag add steak and let marinate for 2 hours or longer.

While steak is cooking heat up the marinade to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. To serve slice against grain. Great with rice.
