I just use Dale's.  It's sold in stores around here and I love the taste. 

When I cook over an open fire, I don't actually cook 'over the fire'.  I get a nice fire going to produce a bed of coals, then take some coals off to the side and cook on a grill.  I ensure I have an indirect side and direct side so I can move the steak to get it to temp then a sear.

I have used this on Steak, Chicken and Pork Chops...JJ

Teriyaki Marinade and Grilling Sauce

1C Low Sodium Soy Sauce (Kikkoman Green Cap)

1/2C Mirin or other Wine

1/4C Brown Sugar

2T Rice Vinegar

1T minced Garlic

1T minced Ginger

2ea Scallions

1tsp Sesame Oil

Hot Pepper Flakes to taste

Combine ingredients and Marinate meat overnight.

To use as a Basting/Grilling Sauce, bring the marinade to a simmer and reduce until desired thickness.

Brush on grilling meat but watch for burning.

I poor soy sauce in a dish and lay a steak in it for 10 minutes and flip for another 10 min... Thats it... on the grill it goes......  I'm making myself hungry.......

If it's decent flavored steak, why cover up the flavor with a bunch of strong stuff???? I don't get that! Anyway, I definitely wouldn't cook it (eye of round steak) for very long or It'll be like a Michelin tire!!!
Finish with a little smoked butter or the like, better yet, get a good steak and finish that with some smoked butter!!!!!

Just my 2 cents and as always YMMV!!!

Good luck!!!!

I'm with these guys,

Bring out the beef flavor by salting  the steaks.
