Ingredients
- 4 shoulder top blade steaks (flat iron) or beef shoulder center steaks (ranch steak), cut 1 inch thick (about 8 oz. each)
- 1 can (8 oz.) pineapple rings in juice
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- salt
- lime slices (optional)
- cilantro sprigs (optional)
Marinade
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 Tbsp. reserved pineapple juice
- 2 Tbsp. roasted-garlic-flavored oil
- 2 tsp. fajita seasoning
Sweet & Smoky BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 cup prepared sweet barbecue sauce (such as molasses or honey)
- 2 Tbsp. reserved pineapple juice
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeded, minced
Instructions
Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup juice for marinade and barbecue sauce. Cover and refrigerate pineapple rings until ready to use.
Whisk marinade ingredients in small bowl. Season steaks with black pepper. Place in sealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over steaks; turn steaks to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours.
Meanwhile combine barbecue sauce ingredients in small bowl. Set aside.
Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill shoulder top blade steaks, covered, 10 to 14 minutes (shoulder center steaks, covered, 11 to 14 minutes) for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once. About 8 minutes before steaks are done, place pineapple rings on grid. Grill until heated through, turning once.
Season steaks with salt, as desired. Drizzle steaks and pineapple with barbecue sauce. Garnish with lime slices and cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Suggestions
One top round steak, cut 3/4 inch thick (about 1-1/4 lbs.), may be substituted for top blade or shoulder center steaks.
