Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, sherry, chopped ginger, olive oil, dry mustard, curry powder, and crushed garlic to prepare the marinade.
- Marinate the steaks in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Remove steaks from marinade and place on a broiler pan.
- Broil the steaks to desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium.
- Serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the steaks overnight. If you don't have sherry, a dry white wine or even apple cider vinegar can work as substitutes. If fresh ginger isn't available, ground ginger can be used, but reduce the amount slightly. Keep an eye on the steaks while broiling to prevent overcooking; they can quickly go from perfect to overdone.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the broiled steaks with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They pair wonderfully with Easy Rolls (Or Bread) for a hearty touch. For a refreshing contrast, consider a side of Ripe Tomato Chili Sauce to drizzle over the steak. A glass of red wine complements the dish beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover broiled steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 10-15 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the meat tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use chicken or pork instead of beef steaks. Just adjust the marinating time: chicken should marinate for 1-2 hours, while pork can be similar to beef. Ensure to cook until the internal temperature reaches safe levels, especially for chicken.
How do I know when the steaks are done?
Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness: 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare, 140-145°F (60-63°C) for medium. Alternatively, you can check by touch; the meat will feel firmer as it cooks. Remember, it continues to cook slightly after being removed from the broiler.
Can I freeze the marinated steaks?
Yes, you can freeze the marinated steaks before cooking. Place them in a freezer-safe bag with the marinade, and they can be stored for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before broiling for best results.
