Steak with Lemongrass-Habanero Marinade

The original recipe calls for using a T-Bone with this marinade, but that just seems like a waste of a beautiful cut of meat to me. I made it instead with flank steak and it worked great. The marinade is a satisfying mix of heat and cooling lemongrass. If you're heat averse, you might want to dial back a bit on the habanero.
