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!

The Salt of the Earth: A Deep Dive Into the World’s Most Essential Mineral

The vast majority of dietary sodium in the contemporary American diet — approximately seventy percent — comes from processed and packaged foods rather than from salt added during cooking or at the table. This means that reducing the salt used in home cooking has a relatively modest impact on total sodium intake for most people, while reducing consumption of processed foods has a substantially larger one. The cook who seasons food properly with salt during home cooking is adding a small fraction of the sodium present in a single serving of most processed snack foods, fast food, or restaurant meals — making thoughtful home cooking with adequate salt a meaningfully lower-sodium dietary pattern than convenience food eating with no added salt.

Grilled Pesto Turkey Burgers

Ground turkey is significantly leaner than ground beef while still delivering high-quality protein, and mixing pesto into the patty rather than using a heavier sauce on top adds flavor and moisture without excessive added fat.

Campbell’s Just Did Something It Hasn’t Done in 128 Years — Changed the Color of Its Soup Can

Campbell’s Protein Soups are one of the more nutritionally complete canned soup options on the market right now — 20 grams of protein, 5 to 13 grams of fiber depending on the flavor, and notably lower sodium than many comparable canned soups. For an easy high-protein lunch, pair a can with a slice of whole grain toast or a handful of crackers to add complex carbohydrates that slow digestion and keep you fuller longer. The Mediterranean Lentil is the highest-fiber option of the five and a great choice for anyone looking to support digestive health alongside their protein goals. And because these soups are heat-and-serve, they’re a practical alternative to protein shakes on days when you want real food but don’t have time to cook.
