"This is a very good recipe, served with kim chee and rice! Times do not include marinating time. I mix it together before work, it seems to be plenty of time. I usually serve it with rice or use it to make an 'Oriental' salad."

Excellent recipe. Followed recipe exactly, letting the meat marinate for approximately 24 hours. My husband likes gravy with his rice, so I also boiled the remaining marinade and thickened with some cornstarch. Yummy, yummy.

Great flavors, salty, sweet, heat. Subbed siracha sauce for the pepper flakes. Grilled the steaks.

We all loved this recipe!! Very good flavor. I used green onion slices instead of the shallots, as that is what I had on hand. We cooked the meat on the barbecue and it was fantastic with steamed rice and kimchee. Thanks for posting this.
