Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (10-12 oz each) Ribeye steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 piece (zested and juiced) Lime
- 1 cup (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 0.5 piece (finely chopped, optional) Jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Begin by preparing your steak rub. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, ground allspice, garlic powder, ground paprika, and brown sugar.
Pat the ribeye steaks dry using paper towels, then drizzle them with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over each steak, pressing gently to help the rub adhere. Set aside to allow the flavors to blend for at least 10 minutes.
While the steak is marinating, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced fresh pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, honey, and jalapeño (if using). Mix well and set the salsa aside to allow the flavors to meld together.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cook time to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This helps juices redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak.
Serve the steaks with a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa on top or on the side. Pair with your favorite tropical-inspired sides, such as coconut rice or grilled plantains, for a complete Caribbean meal!
