I think I would cut back the amount of brown sugar, and next time I'd like to have fresh ginger on hand. I also used dry sherry (is this the same as sherry wine? it's what I had on hand...) I doubled the sauce, and used flank steak (I don't often cook with beef, and next time I'll either go with a more tender cut or tenderize it with the mallet I always forget I have).
