Grilled Flank Steak with Molasses Barbecue Glaze

1. Whisk the molasses, mustard and olive oil together in a bowl.  Place the steak in a large sealable plastic bag.  Reserve 1/4 cup of the molasses mixture for basting.  Pour the remaining molasses mixture over the steak.  Seal tightly and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning occasionally.  Drain the steak, discarding the marinade.  Place the steak on a grill rack.  Grill, covered, over medium-high heat (350F to 400F) for 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness, basting frequently with the reserved marinade.  Cut the steak diagonally across the grain into very thin strips.
