- When ready to cook, remove steak from marinade and discard any leftover marinade.
- Heat a grill pan over medium high heat.
- Once hot, add the steaks and cook them for about 4-6 minutes on each side.
- If you are using a smaller flank steak, the time should be adjusted to 2-5 minutes.
- The time depends on your desired level of pink.
- Make a small cut into the middle of the flank steak to get a sense of how done it is.
- Leave it on longer if you prefer a more well-done steak.
- For the pineapple salsa: Peel, core and dice the pineapple.
- Peel, pit and dice the flesh of the avocado.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, avocado, cilantro, lime juice and salt.
