We define a new version of modified mean curvature flow (MMCF) in hyperbolic space H^n+1, which interestingly turns out to be the natural negative L^2-gradient flow of the energy functional defined by De Silva and Spruck in DS09. We show the existence, uniqueness and convergence of the MMCF of complete embedded star-shaped hypersurfaces with fixed prescribed asymptotic boundary at infinity. As an application, we recover the existence and uniqueness of smooth complete hypersurfaces of constant
