Notes

  • Marinating Time: Be sure not to marinate the steaks for more than 1 hour to avoid the pineapple enzymes from breaking down the meat too much.
  • Grill Option: If using an outdoor grill, cook the steaks on medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side.
  • Storage: Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat by gently warming in a pan with a little broth or water to retain moisture.
