Sensual Beef

Here is what I made for dinner saturday night - note the butcher said they dont get skirt steak anymore, and gave me sirloin tip. If I make this again, I would instead do tenderloin or something. I just dont like chewy meat. This was actually very tasty. The recipe is kinda vauge on the measurements. I recommend using just 1/2 cup of sprite & the rest to taste - it made a VAST amount of liquid that was wayyy to much:
