Hoisin sauce is a key ingredient in many Chinese dishes. Here the thick, dark, rich sauce, made from sugar, soybeans, garlic, sesame seeds, chiles, and spices, is the base for a rich marinade flavoring this beef. Be sure to leave enough time to let the meat marinate for at least four hours for maximum flavor. Pat the meat dry to help the beef brown nicely, and then let the high heat of the broiler work its magic, creating a nice crust relatively quickly. Turn on the broiler about 5 minutes before cooking to give your oven time to heat up.
