Ingredients
-
1/4 cup chopped onion

Directions
1.
For sauce, in a small saucepan cook onion, garlic, and chili powder in margarine until tender. Stir in tomato sauce, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil 5 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened.

To serve, thinly slice the flank steak across the grain. Makes 6 servings.
