Ingredients
  

For the Marinade:
  • 1 Tbsp dried parsley Adds a hint of earthiness and color.
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce The base of the marinade that brings salty umami flavors.
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic Enhances the aromatic profile of the marinade.
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice Provides natural sweetness and acidity, tenderizing the meat.
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar Balances the saltiness of the soy sauce with a touch of caramel flavor.
  • 1 tsp ground ginger Adds warmth and a subtle spice.
  • 1 tsp dry ground mustard Contributes a slight tang that rounds out the flavors.
For the Steak:
  • 3 pieces ribeye steaks The star of the show! Ribeye is known for its marbling and flavor.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Resealable Plastic Bag
  • Grill
  • Skillet

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the dried parsley, soy sauce, minced garlic, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ground ginger, and dry ground mustard. Whisk together until well mixed and the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Place the ribeye steaks into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but for maximum flavor, aim for 4 to 8 hours.
  3. When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure it’s hot enough to create a nice sear on the steaks.
  4. Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade. Grill or pan-sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness.
  5. Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Slice and serve, perhaps with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content.
  • Substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Replace brown sugar with honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener.
