Ingredients

• 4 pieces ribeye steaks
• 1 cup pineapple juice (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 pieces scallions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved and the marinade is well combined.

Step 2

Place the ribeye steaks in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they’re fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a stovetop, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 4

Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to prevent excessive flare-ups on the grill. Discard the used marinade.

Step 5

Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (130°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Garnish the steaks with chopped scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately with your choice of sides for a complete meal.
