Hawaiian Skirt Steak with Pineapple Coconut Rice

Skirt steak is a great weeknight meal item because it soaks up marinades and cooks quickly on the grill. I was feeling tropical and will really come up with any excuse to eat coconut rice (yummmm). The combination of sweet, creamy rice and spicy steak is delish. Now all you need to add is a margarita and some tunes and you’re good to enjoy your evening on the patio. Cheers!

1. Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl.

2. Place skirt steak in a 8×8 dish and pour marinade over. Let sit on the counter for 30 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, bring coconut milk, water and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add rice, cover pan and remove from heat. Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff rice with a fork. Add pineapple and stir to combine.

 

 

4. Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill skirt steak for 3 minutes per side then rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

 

 

5. Scoop rice into serving bowls and top with steak and jalapeños.
