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!

Krispy Kreme Is Dropping a Pokémon Doughnut Collection Monday — And There Are Six of Them

With six doughnuts in the Pokémon collection, the Krispy Kreme Dozen is designed for sharing — and sharing is genuinely the healthiest way to enjoy a collab lineup like this one. Splitting the dozen across a group of six means one character doughnut each, which is a perfectly reasonable treat. The Charmander doughnut’s filled format means it’s more substantial than the glazed varieties — a single Charmander alongside a coffee is a satisfying treat that doesn’t require working through more than one doughnut to feel the full experience. And the free Original Glazed on August 22 is one of the lower-calorie Krispy Kreme options at around 190 calories — a smart choice for the freebie day.

The Olive Oil Harvest: Why the Freshest Bottle on the Shelf Is Always the Best One

Extra virgin olive oil’s health benefits are substantially dependent on its polyphenol content — specifically the compounds oleocanthal, oleuropein, and hydroxytyrosol that are responsible for its anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular-protective effects. Research has found that the polyphenol content of olive oil decreases by approximately forty percent in the first year after pressing and continues to decline thereafter, meaning that fresh, high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil provides substantially greater health benefits than aged or degraded oil of equivalent volume. The PREDIMED study — the landmark clinical trial demonstrating the cardiovascular benefits of the Mediterranean diet — used high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil as the primary fat, and the specific health benefits observed in the study may not be replicable with the aged, low-polyphenol olive oil that constitutes most of the commercial supply.

Taco Hashbrown Casserole

Black beans are one of the most nutritious additions to any ground beef dish—providing plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate while stretching the beef further and reducing the saturated fat per serving. Using frozen hashbrowns keeps the prep effortless, and the salsa base means you’re getting vegetables, antioxidants, and flavor in every layer without any extra effort.
