🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 2 pieces ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
• 1 piece fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 piece lime (juice and zest)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

2. In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using).

3. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush each steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Generously rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the steaks, ensuring even coverage. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the pineapple.

4. Slice the peeled and cored pineapple into rings that are about 1/2 inch thick.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the pineapple rings.

6. Place the steaks onto the preheated grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium). Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and tent them with aluminum foil to rest.

7. While the steaks are resting, place the pineapple rings onto the grill. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until they are caramelized and have nice grill marks.

8. To serve, plate the steaks with the grilled pineapple on the side or on top for a tropical garnish. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top if desired.

9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chili Pineapple Steaks!
