1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the steak, rubbing it into the meat evenly.
3. In a small bowl, toss the whole shallots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Arrange the shallots in a foil packet, sealing the edges tightly. Place the packet on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shallots are tender and caramelized.
5. While the shallots roast, place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and the pineapple softens slightly. Remove and set aside.
6. Place the seasoned flank steak on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve it on a platter. Top with the roasted shallots and grilled pineapple slices.
8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
