Ingredients
- 4 beef steaks (sirloin or ribeye)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Marinate the Beef
Place the beef steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the beef to absorb the flavors.
Step 3: Prepare the Grill
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Grill the Beef
Remove the beef from the marinade and grill the steaks for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.
Step 5: Grill the Pineapple
While the beef is grilling, place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear.
Step 6: Serve
Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the steaks with grilled pineapple rings on top, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
