Trim beef and place in flat container. Mix together the remaing ingredients
to create a marinade, and pour over the meat. Leave at room temperature for
about 1 hour, turning every 15 minutes ( or keep refrigerated overnight).
Preheat the broiler, place the steaks on a broiler pan and broil to the
desired doneness. In the meantime, pour the marinade into a medium-hot
skillet and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the butter and continue to
boil, stirring frequently, until it reduces to a light sauce. Remove the
steaks to a serving platter, and spoon the sauce over and serve.
