August 30 - Caribbean-Style Pineapple Marinade for Steaks

Here is a healthier option to the usual BBQ marinade of soy sauce and brown sugar - pineapple marinade.

I tried it initially with Flanken-style beef short ribs to bring it to a church banquet. That 4 pound was gone in no time.

I went back to the supermarket to buy some beef chuck steaks to serve the same dish at home.

Do take time to marinade the steaks, at least overnight. You can bake it for an hour at low heat, about 250 degrees Fahrenheit, or simmer it in a shallow pan for the same amount of time.


Steaks with Pineapple Marinade
Ingredients
4 lbs Beef Chuck Center Cut Steak Bone-in
2 cups 100% pineapple juice
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
6 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation Time:
Place the steaks in a large shallow baking pan.
Add the rest of the ingredients, pineapple juice, salt, pepper and garlic.
Marinate the steaks overnight.






Cooking Time (75 minutes)
Cover the baking pan with a foil.
Bake the steaks (marinade included) for about 45 minutes at 250 degrees.
Uncover the pan and let it bake for another 15 minutes.
Grill the steak for 6 minutes on each side to give it some brown color.
Serve with sauteed vegetables and rice.
