Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8 oz each) sirloin steak
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks (chopped, for garnish) green onions
- 4 slices (optional, for garnish) pineapple rings
- 1 tablespoon (for cooking) vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
Place the sirloin steaks into a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Sear the steaks for 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred doneness (130°F for medium rare, 145°F for medium, 160°F for well done).
While the steaks are cooking, brush them occasionally with the leftover marinade for additional flavor. Turn down the heat if the sugar in the marinade begins to caramelize too quickly.
Optional: Place pineapple rings on the grill pan or alongside the steaks in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until caramelized.
Remove the steaks from the skillet or grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Slice the steaks against the grain and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and grilled pineapple slices, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sirloin Steak Polynesian with steamed rice or a side of sautéed vegetables.
