Hawaiian Rib Eye Steak Recipes

HOUSTON'S HAWAIIAN RIBEYE

Steps:

• Add soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, pineapple juice and apple cider vinegar to a small pot. Bring to a boil then simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the marinade into a large shallow dish (to marinate steaks later). Set aside until it's cooled, or to speed up the process, cover and place it in the fridge until it's cool.
• Add steak into the dish with marinade. Cover and place in fridge for 1 hour. Flip sides and cover for another 1 hour in the fridge. I prefer to marinate over night.
• 20 minutes before starting the grill, take dish with steaks out (still covered) to cool to room temperature. Heat grill.
• Heat grill to high and grill steaks for 5 minutes. Flip and continue to grill for 4 minutes (for medium-rare to medium). Use an internal thermometer (135F for medium-rare and 140F for medium). Transfer steaks to a platter and tent with foil to let rest for 5 minutes. Grill some pineapple slices along with the steaks for garnish.

HAWAIIAN RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Steak
• Whisk pineapple juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and oil in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add onion and ginger. Set aside 2 Tbsp. marinade for butter. Transfer remaining marinade to a large resealable plastic bag. Add steaks and seal bag, pressing out excess air. Chill at least 1 day.
• Remove steaks from marinade, pat dry, and let sit until room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Butter and Assembly
• Whisk butter and oil in a medium bowl to combine. Vigorously whisk in reserved marinade; season with salt. Transfer to the center of a sheet of parchment paper and roll up into a log. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Build a two-zone fire in a charcoal grill for direct (medium-high coals) and indirect (medium-low coals) heat. Alternatively, heat a gas grill to high just before cooking, leaving one burner on low. Season steaks very lightly with salt (omit this step if marinating more than 24 hours). Grill over high heat, turning, until steaks are well browned and beginning to char around edges, about 4 minutes. Transfer to cooler part of grill and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steaks registers 120°F for medium-rare. (Alternatively, cook in a grill pan over medium-high heat, turning steaks every couple of minutes.)
• Transfer steaks to a wire rack. Slice butter into 1/4"-thick rounds and divide between steaks. Let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• Do Ahead
• Steaks can be marinated 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Butter can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.

GRILLED HAWAIIAN RIBEYE STEAKS (MEAT)

Steps:

• Place the steaks in a single layer in a deep, nonreactive dish. Or if you're short on refrigerator space, divide them between a couple of gallon-sized plastic freezer bags.
• In a large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
• Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure the meat is coated on all sides.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 40 minutes, or overnight. (If you're marinating the steaks in Ziploc-style bags, squeeze out as much excess air as possible before sealing the bags).
• Preheat the grill and oil the grate . Remove the steaks from the marinade, and place on the grill. Discard any excess marinade.
• Grill the steaks to your desired level of doneness. (Cooking times will vary based on the thickness of the steaks, and the heat of your grill, but figure about 5 minutes per side for a 1- to 1 1/2-inch steak cooked to medium.)

• When the steaks are done, transfer them to a platter and serve. Enjoy.
