Ingredients
1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon peeled and grated ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice or kiwi puree
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Combine soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, pineapple juice (or kiwi puree), and black pepper in a bowl.
Pour marinade into a ziplock bag or dish and add 1.5 lbs beef (flank or sirloin work best).
Seal bag and massage marinade into beef. Marinate 2-3 hours (or overnight in fridge).
Preheat grill, pan, or air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook beef 10-15 minutes total, searing well for crispy edges.
Let rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
Kiwi can be substituted with papaya or apple for tenderness
Marinate in the fridge for maximum flavor development
Add red pepper flakes for heat
Keep extra marinade for basting during cooking
Store unused marinade (before mixing with beef) in fridge up to 5 days
