Ingredients

• 2 pieces Beef steak (ribeye or sirloin)
• 1 cup Pineapple juice
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 4 rings Fresh pineapple rings (optional for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the steaks, reserving the other half for later. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the grill heats, prepare the teriyaki glaze. Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the boiling marinade, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard the used marinade.

Step 7

Grill the steaks for 4-6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 8

If desired, grill fresh pineapple rings for about 2-3 minutes per side until lightly charred.

Step 9

Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Drizzle the thickened teriyaki glaze over the rested steaks before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with grilled pineapple rings, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
