Ingredients:
1 flank steak (2 lb)Pineapple Teriyaki Marinade Ingredients:4 cloves garlic, minced1-inch fresh ginger, finely grated 2 tablespoons brown sugar1/2 cup 100% pineapple juice1/2 cup soy sauce
Directions:
- Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
- Place the flank steak in a bowl or container with a tight lid. Pour the marinade into the bowl over the steak and cover tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 – 2 hours or up to overnight.3. After the steak is marinated, fire up the grill and preheat the grill to high.
- Reserve the marinade for basting while the steak grills. Boiling the marinade is essential for killing any bacteria. Do this by pouring the marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a rapid boil. Boil for a minimum of 3 minutes.
- Once the grill is hot, place the steak on the grill, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip once, and baste with the boiled marinade juices and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Continue grilling, flipping, and basting until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Remove the steak from the grill, and let it rest for 5 – 10 minutes before slicing.
- Make it a meal! Serve the sliced, flavor-infused flank steak on a bed of coconut rice (see our recipe below). Garnish with grilled green onions and chunks of grilled or fresh pineapple.
