Pacific Rim Flank Steak
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons grated sweet onion, such as Vidalia, Maui, or Oso Sweet
- 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce or paste (lowest sodium available)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (lowest sodium available)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
- 2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1 1/2-pound flank steak, all visible fat discarded
- Cooking spray
- In a medium glass dish, stir together the marinade ingredients.
- Add the beef, turning to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Lightly spray a broiler pan and rack with cooking spray.
- Remove the beef from the dish, discarding the marinade.
- Transfer the beef to the broiler rack.
- Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 3 to 7 minutes on each side, or to the desired doneness (3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium rare, 4 to 7 minutes on each side for medium).
- Transfer the beef to a cutting board.
- Cut diagonally across the grain into very thin slices.
- If you plan to make the steak salad, you will see that it calls for pineapple chunks canned in their own juice.
- That juice is too mild for the steak marinade, which is why we dont use it in this recipe.
- Regular canned pineapple juice will provide considerably more flavor.
- Chili garlic sauce is a deliciously spicy blend of coarsely ground chiles and garlic.
- It is interchangeable with chili garlic paste, which includes the same ingredients plus vinegar.
- Look for these products in the international section of most major supermarkets.
- Try adding them to a variety of foods, such as chicken, fish, beef, and pasta.
