Calypso Steak

Source: Cooks Recipes.com

A little bit spicy, a little bit sweet, grilled until a little bit charred and smoky — all those little bits add up to a lot of flavor.

1/2 cup rum 
1/4 cup lime juice 
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 
1/4 cup vegetable oil 
2 garlic cloves, minced 
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley 
2 teaspoons minced gingerroot 
1 teaspoon ground allspice 
1 teaspoon ground cloves 
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 
4 (8-ounce) steaks 

Combine all of the ingredients except the steaks in a shallow baking dish. Add the steaks and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours. Turn the steaks halfway through marinating time. 

Preheat the grill until coals are gray to white. Remove steaks from the marinade and place on lightly oiled grill. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn. 

Continue grilling until steaks reach the desired degree of doneness. Serve immediately. 

Makes 4 servings.
