“This is my dad's Kelaguen recipe, from Dededo, Guam. This is no-heat cooking, the meat 'cooks' in the marinade. I serve this over rice.” - by Christine M

2 tablespoons soy sauce
Tabasco to taste
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
2 pounds beef flank steak, very thinly sliced against the grain

Good luck at your next Potluck!"
