Tropical Grilled Skirt Steak with Pineapple Salsa

Healthy Fact of the Day

Skirt steak is a popular cut of beef for grilling due to its rich, beefy flavor and tender texture when cooked quickly over high heat. It's a staple in many Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, often served with fresh, vibrant salsas or chimichurri sauce.

Ingredients

 

For the Steak:

  • 1 1/2 lbs skirt steak
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground
  • black pepper to taste

 

For the Pineapple Salsa:

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt to taste

 

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to make the pineapple salsa. Mix well and set aside.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
  7. Grill the skirt steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
  8. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  9. Serve the grilled skirt steak hot, topped with the fresh pineapple salsa.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Aldi Is Selling $5 Crystal Clear Ice Cubes — And the Internet Can’t Decide How to Feel About It

Clear ice made with reverse osmosis purified water isn’t just prettier — it’s genuinely cleaner. Standard tap water ice can contain trace minerals, dissolved solids, and in some municipalities, trace contaminants that are technically within safe limits but contribute to the off-flavors many people notice in their home ice. RO-purified ice melts more slowly, which means less dilution in your drink over time — a meaningful benefit if you’re drinking something you want to actually taste. For a healthier cocktail moment, use clear ice in sparkling water with a squeeze of citrus and a sprig of mint for a genuinely beautiful non-alcoholic drink that feels special without the alcohol.

The Last Thing on the Plate: A Love Letter to Dessert

Dark chocolate — one of the most universally beloved dessert ingredients — contains significant concentrations of flavanols, a class of antioxidant compounds that have been associated with improved cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure, and enhanced cognitive function in multiple clinical studies. The flavanol content of dark chocolate is inversely related to processing — less processed, higher cacao percentage chocolate retains more of the compounds present in the raw cacao bean. A small serving of genuinely high-quality dark chocolate (70 percent cacao or higher) consumed as part of a balanced diet is one of the more evidence-supported dietary indulgences available — making dessert, at its best, both a pleasure and a health practice simultaneously.
