Houston's Hawaiian Ribeye Recipe: A Tropical Twist on a Classic Steak
When it comes to grilling a mouthwatering steak, Houston's Hawaiian Ribeye recipe takes the classic steak to a whole new level. Inspired by the tropical flavors of Hawaii, this recipe combines the richness of a perfectly cooked ribeye with the sweetness of a pineapple marinade. The result is a tender, juicy steak with a hint of tropical paradise.
Equipment
- Grill brush
- Shallow dish for marinating
- Basting brush
Ingredients
- 1 1 ½-inch thick Ribeye steak
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- ¼ cup Soy sauce
- ¼ cup Brown sugar
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Green onions thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the ribeye steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is fully coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
- Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the ribeye steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.
- While grilling, baste the steak with the reserved marinade to enhance the flavor and keep it moist.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the ribeye steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinating time — For maximum flavor, marinate the ribeye steak overnight. This allows the pineapple juice and other ingredients to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Grill temperature — Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to achieve those beautiful grill marks and a perfectly cooked steak.
- Basting — Basting the steak with the reserved marinade while grilling adds an extra layer of flavor and helps keep the steak moist. Be sure to baste in the last few minutes of cooking to avoid any potential cross-contamination.
- Resting time — Allow the grilled ribeye steak to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serving suggestion — Pair the Houston's Hawaiian Ribeye with grilled vegetables, such as asparagus or zucchini, and a side of coconut rice for a complete tropical-inspired meal.
