Place steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch.

After pounding, poke steak all over with a fork. Place steak in the marinade in the large bowl, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

Cook steak on the preheated grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
