Ingredients:

  1. 1 - large pineapple peeled, cored, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
  2. 2 - canned chipotle chiles in adobo
  3. 1 - small jalapeno chile stemmed, seeded
  4. 2 - limes juiced
  5. 1/4 cups - olive oil
  6. 2 tablespoons - packed brown sugar
  7. 2 tablespoons - soy sauce
  8. 2 tablespoons - fish sauce
  9. 6 cloves - garlic
  10. 1 cups - cilantro leaves and tender stems
  11. 1 1/2 teaspoons - ground cumin
  12. 1/2 teaspoons - ground coriander
  13. 1/2 teaspoons - kosher salt
  14. 1/4 teaspoons - ground white pepper
  15. 2 pounds - skirt steak (2 to 3 whole steaks) trimmed and cut with the grain into 5-6-inch wide pieces
  16. - grapeseed or canola oil
  17. - flour tortillas warmed, optional

Directions:

In the bowl of a food processor or blender combine one of the pineapple rounds, the chipotle chiles, jalapeno, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, cilantro, cumin, coriander, white pepper, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Blend until mostly smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer 1/4 cup of the marinade to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate. (This will get tossed with the pineapple salsa later.)

Pour the remaining marinade into a large zippered plastic bag. Add steaks, seal the bag, and massage to coat the steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30 to 40 minutes prior to grilling; allow them to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or gill pan to high 10 minutes. Grease grates lightly with a folded paper towel dipped in oil, using tongs to hold the paper towel.

Grill remaining pineapple rounds until they have deep golden grill marks, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer pineapple to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch pieces, then transfer to a medium bowl. Pour the reserved 1/4 cup marinade over the pineapple and stir to coat.

Remove steaks from marinade and gently shake off excess liquid. Place steaks on the hot grill. If using a gas grill, cover; if using a grill pan or charcoal grill, leave uncovered. Grill until well charred on one side, 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until steaks reach desired doneness, another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes.

Thinly slice steak pieces against the grain. Serve steak with pineapple salsa and, if desired, warm flour tortillas.
