Ingredients

  • 1 lime
  • 10 ounces skirt steak
  • 20 ounces pineapple spears
  • 1 ounce sliced scallions
  • 5 ounces Jasmine rice
  • 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • sea salt and black pepper as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to broil
  • In a small bowl combine half the soy sauce, half the brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Rub mixture over steak and set aside until needed.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside
  • Zest half the lime and cut in half.
  • In a small saucepan over high heat, bring 1/1/4 cups water and ¼ teaspoon salt to a boil. Stir in rice and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit, covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and gently stir in sesame oil, lime zest, the juice from half of a lime and all but 1 tablespoon of the scallions.
  • While cooking rice, place pineapple spears in a single layer on the foil-lined baking sheet and brush tops with 1 teaspoon oil. Lightly sprinkle spears with salt. Broil until charred in places (about 15 minutes)
  • Remove pineapple from oven and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar and red pepper flakes to taste.
  • Rub a grill pan (or grill outdoors) with 1 teaspoon cooking oil and place over high heat. When the grill pan starts to smoke, add steaks and cook to medium-rare (or your preference), turning once. Cook each side 3-4 minutes or as needed to the desired temperature. Remove to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice steaks against the grain.

To Serve

  • Divide rice between two bowls. Top with sliced steak and pineapple spears. Squeeze remaining lime over ingredients and garnish with scallions and crushed red pepper if you'd like a little more heat.
