• Pour the balsamic vinegar in and bring to a boil. When boiling, immediately turn the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until reduced by half. The balsamic should be think, glossy and coat the back of a spoon. Add the sugar, stock, soy sauce and mirin. Stir well and bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil, immediately turn the heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool and reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for marinating and the remaining 1/4 cup for serving.
• Place the steak and just 1/2 cup of sauce in a large sealable plastic bag. Marinate 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Thirty minutes prior to grilling, remove steak from refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. Discard the marinade and pat the steak very dry.

• Let the grilled skirt steak rest for 5 minutes, then cut across the grain for ultimate tenderness. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of the Balsamic Teriyaki Sauce over the meat.
