I received this sample of Kikkoman’s Lime Ponzu sauce a while back as part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. It is a fantastic dipping sauce for Chinese dimsum such as potstickers, dumplings or siomai.  And if you want it spicy, just add a squirt of sriracha sauce or crushed garlic and you are all set.  The other day, I tried to use it as a marinade for this beautiful piece of flank steak we had for lunch.  London broil, as I eventually learned from the various food channels, is a way of cooking a flank or round steak.  I always thought it is what that cut of meat is called.  Apparently not.  In any case, I was told that london broil is typically marinated before grilling thus this recipe.  Instead of using plain soy sauce and adding citrus, vinegar and garlic, I mixed the ponzu sauce with a bit more ingredients and then marinated the steak overnight.  The result was a wonderful flavor!
