Recipe Details
This recipe brings the famous Houston’s Hawaiian ribeye right into your kitchen. It’s a mix of sweet and savory, thanks to its unique marinade. Ready in about a day (to marinate) plus cooking time, it’s perfect for a special occasion or when you feel like treating yourself.
Ingredients
- 1 ribeye steak (about 1 inch thick)
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation Steps
- Marinade: In a bowl, mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, and ginger. This mix is what gives the steak its Hawaiian twist.
- Steak Time: Put your steak in a large ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and make sure the steak is well-coated. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours to soak up all the flavors.
- Cooking: When ready to cook, take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before to bring it to room temperature. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Cook the steak to your liking. Usually, 4-5 minutes each side for medium-rare.
- Resting: Once done, let the steak rest for about 5 minutes. This helps keep it juicy.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Time is Key: The longer you marinate, the better the flavor. But don’t go over 48 hours.
- Grill Option: For a smoky taste, cook the steak on a grill instead of a pan.
- Sauce it Up: Boil the remaining marinade and use it as a sauce for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Hawaiian ribeye with some steamed rice or roasted veggies. The sweet and savory flavors of the steak pair wonderfully with simple sides.
