2. Pierce beef all over with fork. Add to freezer bag and refrigerate 30 min.
3. Meanwhile, cut peel and pith off grapefruit. Separate and reserve sections, collecting and squeezing out juice from membranes; set sections aside and reserve juice.
4. Discard marinade and grill or broil steak using medium-high heat, 6-7 min/side for medium. Slice beef thinly across the grain.

TIP
When pomegranates are not available, use 2 peeled kiwi for the marinade and garnish with dried cranberries.
Although Beef Marinating Steaks normally take 12 to 24 hours to marinate, the powerful natural enzymes in the figs tenderize these steaks in a fraction of the time.
