Ingredients
Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste or to taste, or 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger or to taste, freshly grated or 2 teaspoons dry ground
- 8 ounce pineapple undrained, crushed, canned
- ½ cup soy sauce reduced-sodium
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Steak
- 2 pounds sirloin steak cut into 2-inch pieces, tips
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- sesame seeds optional for garnishing
- scallions optional for garnishing
Instructions
- Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce - Add the olive oil, garlic, and ginger to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Add the crushed pineapple and juice from the can, soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and cook for 5 minutes.
- To a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water to make a slurry.
- Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan, while whisking constantly for 1 minute.
- Let the sauce simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until sufficiently thickened (it will thicken up more as it cools), and remove it from the heat; set aside. As sauce simmers, prep the steak.
- Steak - Meanwhile, pat the steak tips with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the steak to a hot, lightly oiled, heavy-bottomed skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side to get a nice sear. You want the temperature on a kitchen thermometer to read 140 degrees for medium-rare.
- Remove the steak from the heat, pour half of the pineapple teriyaki sauce over the tips, and stir to coat. Reserve the other half of the sauce for another recipe. Sauce will keep airtight in the fridge for at least 2 weeks.
- Optionally garnish the steak tips with sesame seeds, scallions, and serve with rice, vegetables, or a salad. Steak tips will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
- *I use dark brown sugar for a richer flavor, but light brown sugar may be substituted.
- **Please note that Nutritional Stats are provided as a courtesy only and the values take into account using ALL the sauce (however only half is used in this recipe). Additionally, not every drop of sauce will be consumed and some will be lost to the pan or plating.
