1 lb (450g) Steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank)1 cup Pineapple (fresh or juice, for marinade)2 tbsp Soy sauce2 tbsp Brown sugar2 cloves Garlic (minced)1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)1 tbsp Olive oilSalt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
Prepare the Marinade:In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves completely.Marinate the Steak:Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes. Place the cubes in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.Cook the Steak Bites:Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak cubes in batches, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. Sear the steak cubes for about 4-6 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness.Make the Sticky Glaze:Once the steak bites are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. Pour the remaining marinade into the pan and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens into a sticky glaze.Toss the Steak Bites:Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the thickened glaze. Let them cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure they are well-coated in the sticky sauce.Serve:Remove from heat and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
