Ingredients

• 2 pieces ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
• 1 piece fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 piece lime (juice and zest)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).

Step 3

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush each steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Generously rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the steaks, ensuring even coverage. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the pineapple.

Step 4

Slice the peeled and cored pineapple into rings that are about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the pineapple rings.

Step 6

Place the steaks onto the preheated grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium). Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and tent them with aluminum foil to rest.

Step 7

While the steaks are resting, place the pineapple rings onto the grill. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and have nice grill marks.

Step 8

To serve, plate the steaks with the grilled pineapple on the side or on top for a tropical garnish. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chili Pineapple Steaks!
