Ingredients
- Beef (flank steak, well trimmed) 800 g
- Pineapple (juice) 180 ml
- Garlic 2 cloves
- Soy sauce 60 ml
- Ginger (peeled) 20 g
- Chilli pepper
- Honey 60 ml
- Vegetable oil 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Puree all ingredients except steak in a food processor. Pour marinade into a large self-sealing plastic bag, add steak, seal, turn to coat well, and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the grill or broiler. Remove steak from marinade, pat dry on paper towels, and grill over moderate coals or broil 4 inches from the heat until steak is the way you like it –5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare and 6 to 7 minutes for medium. Flank steak cooked beyond medium will be tough. Let stand about 10 minutes, then, starting on the shorter side of the steak, slice on the bias and across the grain as thin as possible.

Grilled Tenderloin
Prepare as directed, using the following marinade: 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 peeled whole shallots, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Substitute 4 (1 1/4 -inch-thick, 1/2-pound) tenderloin steaks.
Rubbed Sirloin
Substitute this dry rub for marinade: 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 3 minced cloves garlic, 1teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. Rub on both sides of 4 (1/2-inch-thick, 5-ounce) sirloin steaks and grill 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
