Skirt Steak with Pineapple Salsa
Juicy and richly season steak topped with a sweet and sour pineapple salsa makes for a quick, easy, and flavorful meal. Kiwi makes an excellent variation. You can also grill the steak rather than broil it. This seasoning and salsa is also excellent on pork tenderloin.

- 1 1/2 tablespoons monk fruit golden, omit if using coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon chili powder omit for nightshade-free
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika omit for nightshade-free
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper fresh ground
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1 tablespoon red onion minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 lemon, or more to taste

Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and then rub with a bit of avocado oil to prevent sticking. Lay the steak on top and season with the Worcestershire sauce and soy. Combine the remaining seasonings in a bowl and then sprinkle over the steak. Be sure to season both sides.
- Broil on high in a preheated broiler for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from oven and allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- While the steak cooks, prepare the salsa. Combine all salsa ingredients and stir to coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. This can be made a day ahead.
- Serve the steak with the salsa and garnish with more cilantro, if desired.
