Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 Tbsp dried parsley, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1½ tsp ground ginger, and 1½ tsp dry ground mustard until the brown sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  • Place the 3 ribeye steaks in a large zip-top bag. Pour the marinade into the bag so the steaks are coated, press out excess air, and seal. Turn or massage the bag a few times to distribute the marinade.
  • Refrigerate the sealed bag for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally so the steaks marinate evenly.
  • When ready to cook, remove the bag from the refrigerator. Transfer the steaks to a plate and discard the used marinade. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and let them sit at room temperature 20–30 minutes for more even cooking.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high (about 400–450°F). Grill the steaks, flipping once, until they reach your preferred doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy: rare 120–125°F, medium-rare 130–135°F, medium 140–145°F, medium-well 150–155°F.
  • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free marinade, use a gluten-free soy sauce.
I suggest using a low-sodium soy sauce in this recipe.
You can use this marinade on any cut of steak that you enjoy – ribeye, sirloin, NY Strip, filet, skirt steak, flank steak – anything you like.
