I'll be honest, I used to be a total steak purist. Salt, pepper, maybe a little garlic powder – that's all I thought a good steak needed. Then, my friend Maria introduced me to this recipe. She'd made it at a barbecue, and I was skeptical at first, but one bite and I was hooked! The teriyaki glaze adds this amazing umami depth that complements the richness of the steak perfectly, while the grilled pineapple provides a burst of fresh, tropical flavor that just works. It's a little unexpected, sure, but trust me on this one. You're going to love it.
What makes this recipe particularly great is that it's actually surprisingly simple. You don't need any fancy techniques or obscure ingredients. In fact, you probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry. The key is to use a good quality steak (I prefer ribeye or sirloin) and to not be afraid to experiment with the teriyaki sauce. Some people like it sweeter, some like it spicier – feel free to adjust the recipe to your own liking. And don't skimp on the pineapple! The grilled pineapple is really what brings this whole dish together. This recipe is a game-changer!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, let's get prepped! Take your steak out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to cook it. This helps it cook more evenly. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
- Now, fire up the grill (or heat a grill pan on the stovetop) to medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to get a good sear on the steak, but not so hot that it burns the teriyaki sauce.
- While the grill is heating up, let's make the teriyaki marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. This is where you can get creative! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat, or a splash of pineapple juice for extra sweetness.
- Brush the steak generously with the teriyaki marinade on both sides. Reserve some of the marinade for basting later.
- Place the steak on the hot grill and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Remember, carryover cooking will continue to raise the internal temperature of the steak a few degrees after you remove it from the grill.
- During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the steak with the reserved teriyaki marinade. This will create a beautiful, glossy glaze.
- While the steak is grilling, prepare the pineapple. Cut the pineapple into rings or chunks, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Brush the pineapple with a little bit of the teriyaki marinade (or a simple mixture of olive oil and honey).
- Place the pineapple on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it's nicely charred and slightly softened. The sugars in the pineapple will caramelize, creating a delicious, smoky flavor.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Slice the steak and serve it with the grilled pineapple. Drizzle with any remaining teriyaki sauce from the pan (if using a stovetop grill pan).
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and visual appeal.
📝 Notes
- For a spicier teriyaki sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple rings (but fresh is best!).
- Serve with rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
