Something like this... Just brown sugar, soy, lime... When I was a kid, my mother would make flank steak like this.. She would most likely add soy, brown sugar and garlic salt.. I dont think I have ever seen a lime in my house so, it was most likely a lemon too.. she would marinade, my father would grill. My mother grew up on a farm and their spice was pepper.. So, i have no idea how this came to be the family steak marinade.. But I would say we had this every other week for my precollege life.. Here is a similar recipe with fish sauce added... for me the real flavors are the soy and the brown sugar.. the brown sugar adds the sweetness and the char.. the fish sauce as a depth, cilantro adds an herba note..
