1/2 cup rum
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced gingerroot
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 (8-ounce) steaks
Combine all of the ingredients except the steaks in a shallow baking dish. Add the steaks and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours. Turn the steaks halfway through marinating time.
Preheat the grill until coals are gray to white. Remove steaks from the marinade and place on lightly oiled grill. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn. Continue grilling until steaks reach the desired degree of doneness. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
