  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup green onions, diced

Rice

  • 1 cup white rice rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Pineapple Pico

  • 1 pineapple
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 jalapeños, sliced

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Marinade

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a resealable plastic bag.
  • Add top sirloin steaks and marinate overnight for best results.

Rice

  • Add one cup rice, two cups of water, and butter to a pan. Cover with lid and cook on medium heat.
  • Mix rice around after 20 minutes.
  • Rice will be fluffy and done in 35-40 minutes.

Pineapple Pico

  • Slice pineapple in half and core out the center.
  • Chop the pineapple fruit from the core and combine with tomatoes, jalapeños, red onion, cilantro, juice from one lime, and olive oil.
  • Mix until well combined.

Top Sirloin Steaks

  • Preheat grill to medium heat.
  • Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Reserve marinade.
  • Season generously with Omaha Steaks Seasoning.
  • Grill over direct heat, flipping every two minutes to build a crust. Grill until the steak’s internal temperature is 10 degrees below your target temperature. For medium-rare doneness, remove steak at 115 degrees. The internal temperature will continue to rise to 125 degrees while resting.
  • Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Shrimp

  • Add reserved marinade to pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil BEFORE adding shrimp.
  • Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping every two minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the remaining marinade to the pan and reduce by 1/2 on high heat for about 20 minutes.

Assembly

  • Char the inside half of the pineapple on the grill over direct heat.
  • Add 1/2 cup fluffy white rice to each pineapple half.
  • Top with sliced sirloin steak and cooked shrimp.
  • Drizzle with reduced marinade and top with pineapple pico.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
