Ginger Steak

This is hands down my favorite steak seasoning/marinade. I saw it on "30 Minute Meals" awhile ago and use it almost every time we have steak. The recipe is actually called "ginger flank steak" but I use it on any type of steak we buy. The side Rachel Ray made with it on the show was wasabi mashed potatoes, which I love, but Greg hates-so I usually make it with broccoli cole slaw, which I included the recipe for after the ginger steak recipe. Ginger Steak calls for, you guessed it, fresh ginger. :) Ginger is so inexpensive and easy to work with, if it's not available then you can buy it in a jar already peeled, grated, and ready to use. It's in the produce section next to jars of minced garlic, but I suggest using fresh ginger if possible. Also, if you can't find tamari, you could substitute soy sauce, but tamari does have a stronger flavor that I personally like much better.
