In a bowl, combine the orange juice, chile powder, oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Place steak in a large glass or ceramic container and coat all over with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
To make the salsa, light a grill, keeping a small area unlit for indirect heat. Grill pineapple over direct heat until charred on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes a side.
Toss the tomatillos, onion, jalapeños and garlic with olive oil, remaining ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper. Place the garlic over indirect heat, cut-side down, and grill until charred and somewhat tender, 6 to 10 minutes (do not turn). Grill the onion, cut-side down over direct heat, until well charred, 3 to 5 minutes (do not turn). Grill the tomatillos and jalapeños over direct heat on both sides until they are tender and blistered, 1 to 3 minutes a side.
When cool enough to handle, peel onion and coarsely chop it and tomatillos and jalapeños. Squeeze the garlic from the peel and mash with the flat side of a knife, then chop. In a bowl, combine vegetables, half the garlic and the pineapple. Toss in cilantro and season with a squeeze of lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.
Grill steak until done to taste, about 2 to 4 minutes a side. Let rest for 10 minutes, then smear the remaining garlic on top. Carve steak against the grain and serve with the salsa and lime wedges.
Definitely watch the video before making. Extra tips about grilling and size to chops jalapeños .
Roasted all the salsa stuff including two whole cloves of garlic at 475 until browned. Then cooled, chopped veg, smashed garlic to a paste and added juice of 1/2 lime and about 3-4 Tbsp of chopped cilantro. Excellent!
Followed the recipe for salsa to use on swordfish. Mine tasted good, flavor was there but it looked a little gray. Maybe I grilled the tomatillos too long IDK. I usually make mango salsa and think I’ll stick to that recipe instead of this one. Ps: yes, I watched the video
Made this as described, except no tomatillos. Salsa was still great, although i would use tomatillos if they were in season. Would definitely make this again, but would use NY Strip or another higher quality steak vs. Flank.
Wow, really good and a keeper. Thank you for the video, too; helpful to see and hear Melissa's comments
Easy and delicious. Made the whole thing on a slippery little George Foreman grill, but it worked fine. Added garlicky mashed potatoes as a starchy side worked great. Also added red bell peppers to the salsa just for more veg. The pineapple was especially delicious, but I'd make it again anytime.
This was great, not the marinade alone. They go together. Salsa is a great accompaniment. Used only a garlic clove in the salsa.
This was unbelievable! So many tastes blending so well. Made the salsa as it. It was perfect.
To marinade, add: -2 tablespoons olive oil -1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper -1/2 teaspoon garlic power -1 teaspoon sugar Don't bother with the salsa, just top the steak with crumpled gorgonzola cheese.
add 1 teaspoon sugar and 2 tablespoons olive oil
Salsa is good with fish too!

I made the salsa to serve with fish-- excellent! I will make it again with flank steak.
This is wonderful! (Disclosure: I'm from New Mexico.) I use the whole recipe for the two of us, and then use the leftover steak and salsa for either flank steak tacos or enchiladas (you can puree the salsa for those). Add a little guacamole & you're good to go. Yum!
Very fuego
So, so good! Best salsa ever. Might help others to know that my two 1/2 inch slices of pineapple equaled half a pound. Followed exactly, not too garlicky for me.
