Pineapple Steak Marinades
Fire up the grill! These three easy steak marinades all start with the same pineapple juice base, delivering tender, juicy steaks with bold, grill-ready flavor.
Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup Fresh Pineapple Juice
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar

- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt

- 2 tbsp Yellow Mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced

Mexican-inspired Steak Marinade
- 1/2 cup Fresh Pineapple Juice
- 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1/4 cup Red Onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
- 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
Cooking:
- Combine all ingredients in small bowl or food processor. Place beef steak(s) and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak(s) to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours for tender steaks; 6 hours or as long as overnight for less tender steaks, turning occasionally.
- Remove steak(s) from bag; discard marinade. Place steak(s) on grid over medium, ash-covered coals or over medium heat on preheated gas grill. Grill according to the chart for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally.
Notes:
- Allow for 1/4 to 1/2 cup of marinade for every pound of beef.
- Use a cheese grater to grate the pineapple. One whole pineapple yields about 2 cups of fresh juice. Some pulp may pass through the strainer, but there’s no need to strain or drain the juice before using it in these recipes.
