Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 4 (8-ounce) Rib-Eye steaks
Marinade
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, pineapple juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, honey, rosemary, oregano, chili powder, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the steaks: Add the steaks to the marinade, either in the bowl or a large ziplock bag. Toss or massage the steaks a few times to coat thoroughly. If using a ziplock bag, press out excess air and seal it. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to a few hours, to allow flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grilling surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the steaks: Using tongs, place the marinated steaks on the hot grill. Cook the steaks until they reach your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: Rare (less than 130°F), Medium-Rare (130°F), Medium (135°F), Medium-Well (150°F), Well-Done (160°F).
- Rest the steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices and ensure tenderness. Optionally, garnish with fresh green onions and a pat of butter before serving.
Notes
- Marinating time can be adjusted based on how strong you want the herb flavors; overnight marination will deepen the flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer for best results in achieving perfect doneness.
- Letting the steak rest is crucial to keep it juicy.
- If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan on the stovetop can be used as a substitute.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to your spice preference.
