Carribbean Beef Steak

Enjoy Beef! Beef easily fits into the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and is an excellent source of Iron and Zinc in the diet.

Remember- whenever you marinate meats, it's important to never brush the food item with the marinade it soaked in - it could be contaminated. Always save back some marinade when preparing to coat the item, and use that for grilling.
 
Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

Yield: 6 servings
1 beef top round steak, 1" thick (about 11/2 pounds
3/4 cup Italian Dressing (oil free dressing may be used)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground ginger
