Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef sirloin
• 1 medium pineapple
• 1 cup coconut aminos
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup pineapple juice
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.25 cup cilantro

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef sirloin, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

2. Peel and core the pineapple, then chop it into 1-inch chunks.

Step 3

3. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

Step 4

4. In a large bowl, combine the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well to create the marinade.

Step 5

5. Add the beef cubes and pineapple chunks to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat the beef and pineapple evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 6

6. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

7. Thread the marinated beef cubes and pineapple chunks alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Step 8

8. Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 9

9. Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness, and the pineapple has caramelized slightly.

Step 10

10. While the skewers are grilling, thinly slice the green onions and chop the cilantro.

Step 11

11. Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 12

12. Garnish the skewers with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
