Pineapple Pico De Gallo

  • ½ piece of a large pineapple or 1 small pineapple (sliced into half circles)

  • sliced avocado [ fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, crema or greek yogurt and Cotija Cheese, for topping ]

Instructions:

Steak:

  • Add the steak to a glass pyrex dish or gallon size ziplock bag.
  • In a glass measuring cup or bowl whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, orange juice and sesame oil.
  • Pour marinade over the steak, cover or seal the bag and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Pico De Gallo:

  • Preheat the grill, a grill pan or a cast iron skillet to medium high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Rub the pineapple with olive oil. Once the grill is hot, add the pineapple. Cook until lightly charred on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.

  • Once the pineapple is cool enough to handle, dice it into bite size pieces and add to a bowl with the tomatoes, onion (if using), jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice and sesame oil. Taste and season with salt if needed. Can be stored for up to 1 day in the fridge.

For Fries:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with a little olive oil.
  • Cut each potato into very thin fries, lengthwise no more than a quarter-inch thick. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil. I think I used about 2 tablespoons. Add the salt and pepper and arrange the fries in a single layer without crowding them (use 2 baking sheets - this is very important).
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove and toss, then bake for 15-20 minutes longer. I like to start checking them at 15 minutes and make sure that none are burning or getting too crisp.

To Finish:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan to high heat.
  • Once hot, remove the steak from its marinade and sear the steak for 5-8 minutes, flip and sear another 5 minutes or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove the steak and allow to rest 5 minutes. Slice steak thinly against the grain.

  • Divide the fries among 4 plates or bowls and top with cheese (if desired place the cheese + fries under the broiler to melt) and sliced steak.
  • Top with sliced avocado, pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, sesame seeds, crema or greek yogurt and Cotija Cheese and serve.
