“HAWAIIAN RIB-EYE STEAKS”
These juicy pair of rib-eye steaks could have been called “The Pineapple Duo Rib-eyes!” or “Juicy Rib-eye Steaks With Flavors of the Tropical Islands!” Hmm, that doesn’t sound too bad? After all, does Hawaii even have pineapples or tangerines oranges?
Some time later…
Yes they do! Gotta love Google Search; its just super fast and awesome! So I will stick to the original recipe name of “HAWAIIAN RIB-EYE STEAKS” And why not?! Its my post and blog; also, I’m the CHEF OF THE HOUSE! Ha-ha!
The Creation of the Hawaiian Rib-eye Steaks
- Hawaiian-rib-eye-steaks-in-a-pineapple-and-tangerine-orange-marinade.
Have you ever gotten the “I don’t know what kind of sides I should cook syndrome?” You sometimes don’t know what to pick, you cooked that side yesterday, that side the day before, and it goes on and on. We home cooks run out of ideas of what to cook as sides; to include cook those sides with what?
So, going over the cans and stuff of “I don’t know what I have in the pantry”; in our kitchen cabinets I ran into the pineapple and tangerine-orange cans, plus a Lawry’s Hawaiian marinade.
“BAM!” It hit me! Marinade those rib-eyes steaks with all both cans and the Hawaiian marinade and grill the fruits with the rib-eye steaks. As a side all I added where french fries, which I had prepared before the rib-eye steaks hit the grill and kept warm in my George Foreman oven.
Success! The “HAWAIIAN RIB-EYE-STEAKS” were an instant winner. I even saved some of the juices from the marinade and brought them to a low boil on the grill to use as a basting sauce during the last two minutes of grill time and a dunking sauce at the dinner table.
So…this is what I did… I combined the juices of the pineapple and tangerine-oranges in a big container. I added a 1/4 cup of the Hawaiian marinade, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of white wine, and 2 tablespoons of McCormick Grill Mates in Smokehouse Maple. That’s it. I mixed the ingredients well and added the rib-eye steaks before I had started the fire on the grill to give more time to the rib-eyes to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
THE FIRE…
Todays fire was most successful; it was provided by Kingsford Hickory Charcoal which had Hickory chips imbedded in it. I also used my own Hickory chunks to add a more robust flavor.
“WHERE’S THE BEEF!?”
After the coals got lit and ashen over, I used a stiff wire brush to clean the grates of the grill, and used half an onion to wipe down the grates for the final cleaning. I leave the half onion there on the grill; it tastes quite delicious, especially when thinly sliced and served with steak or chicken.
AT THE GRILL…
I grilled the rib-eye steaks for a total time of eight minutes. Four minutes per side for medium well. Adjust your timing to suit your taste buds.
FOUR MINUTES PLUS
I removed the pineapples on placed them directly on the grates to get grill marks on them. After basting the rib-eye steaks with the marinade for the past two minutes for a total of eight minutes of grilling time, the rib-eye steaks were ready to be removed and join the family at the dinner table. Another field goal scored! Yes! The HAWAIIAN RIB-EYE STEAKS were superb in taste!
This Hawaiian Rib-eye Steaks are a major attraction at the dinner table. They are full of rich and tasty flavor that gets the family asking for more at the next BBQ time gathering!
