    In a glass measure, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt, cinnamon, coriander, paprika, sugar, cumin, pepper, and cayenne.

    Rinse flank steak and pat dry; put in a 1-gallon zip-lock plastic bag. Pour in all but about 3/4 cup of the marinade (save remaining for grilled eggplant and pepper salad -) seal bag and turn to coat meat well. Chill for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
