Searing steak under a broiler intensifies its flavor while leaving it tender and juicy on the inside. Complementing the steak is a zesty, sweet, and tangy pineapple and onion salsa that's made with fresh pineapple chunks, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a touch of serrano pepper for a bit of heat. Whether it's a weeknight meal or a special occasion feast, this steak and salsa combo is sure to be a hit.

Steps:
- Place the steak in a shallow glass baking dish. Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the steak. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, turning occasionally.
- Prepare a charcoal grill with two zones, for direct and indirect grilling, by arranging the hot coals on one side of the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade. Grill the steak on medium-high direct heat, moving to indirect heat as needed for flareups, covered, for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain into about 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Meanwhile, place the corn tortillas flat on the grill grates for about 15 seconds per side.
- Place 2 slices grilled steak and 2 slices avocado on each tortilla. Top each taco with Tomatillo Sauce and Pineapple Salsa. Sprinkle with queso fresco. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
- Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse under cool water. Put the tomatillos and jalapenos in a pot and cover with water, then bring to a simmer and cook until fairly soft but not falling apart, 5 to 8 minutes. Strain into a colander (reserve the cooking water) and rinse under cool water to stop the cooking process.
- Put the jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, cumin, lime juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 cup of the cooking water into a blender. Blend for 5 seconds. Add the tomatillos and blend to a rough texture.
- Combine the pineapple, cilantro, red onion, cumin, jalapeno, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
BROILED STEAK WITH PINEAPPLE AND ONION SALSA
Most modern broilers are now unfortunately equipped with thermostats, so they cycle on and off, never really getting hot enough. Start by heating your oven to its maximum temperature, typically 550 degrees; then turn on the broiler. While the oven is preheating, leave a skillet or a grill pan (a ridged skillet) inside. The best pans for this are cast-iron, enameled cast-iron, or heavy-duty steel - not stainless steel, but what chefs call "black steel." Almost needless to say, this pan must be all metal and not flimsy. Keep potholders handy. In most cases, that skillet will stay as close to the heating element as possible, about two or three inches away. That's roughly the distance you want if you have an old-fashioned under-oven broiler, even though it will allow you to put the food closer, almost in contact with the flames. Adjustments may also be needed with a really powerful broiler, of the kind more often found in restaurants, where two or three inches may be way too close. After a little experimenting, you'll find the ideal distance for your broiler.

Steps:
- Start broiler; set rack about 4 inches from heat source. Brush pineapple and onion slices with olive oil and put on a baking sheet. Broil, turning once or twice, until soft and slightly charred, about 8 minutes total. Remove slices as they finish cooking and chop into bite-size chunks, saving as much juice as possible. When finished, set a cast-iron pan under broiler and let sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine pineapple and onions with chile, basil and lime juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then taste and add more chile, lime or salt to taste.
- Season steaks with salt and pepper. When pan is very hot, carefully remove from oven and add steaks; return to oven immediately. Broil steaks 6 to 10 minutes for rare to medium rare. (Timing will depend on thickness of meat and broiler heat; check by feel or by making a small slit in one steak and peeking in.) Serve steaks hot, with salsa.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA
The sweetness of grilled pineapple is a perfect foil for the tang of lime juice and the earthy taste of cumin in this easy salsa recipe. If you are too lazy to fire up the grill, char the fruit on a cast-iron grill pan on the stove. The salsa's perfect for fish tacos.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak. For this recipe, a flank steak is a good choice. It's a relatively inexpensive cut that's flavorful and tender when cooked properly.
- Marinate the steak. Marinating the steak in a mixture of pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Let the steak rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more flavorful and tender.
- Serve the steak with pineapple and onion salsa. This salsa is a great way to add a pop of flavor and freshness to the steak.
Conclusion:
This broiled steak with pineapple and onion salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the salsa is a great way to add a pop of flavor and freshness. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
