Lightly score flank steak on both sides against the grain of the meat. Mix all other ingredients in bowl to marinate meat. Place steak in bowl, turning to coat, cover and refrigertae until ready to cook. The longer the steak marinates the better; however, 30 minutes flavors the meat well.

Preheat large frypan over medium-high heat until water drops "dance" when sprinkled in pan. remove flank steak from marinade and place in hot pan, allowing some garlic and onion to remain on steak. Sear meat until it releases from first side, approximately 4 minutes. Turn, reduce heat, and sear second side, cover for 4 minutes for rare, or longer to desired doneness.

Deglaze pan with marinade mixture. Pour flank steak. Slice diagonally across the grain in 1/4" (1 cm) strips.
