Hawaiian BBQ Marinade

I found this great recipe for Korean BBQ but did not have the Asian pear that the recipe required. Asian pear juice acts as a tenderizer. I did happen to have pineapple on hand so I substituted that for the pear juice. It was delicious....pears are over-rated.





1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 can crushed pineapple in its own juice
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 large cloves of garlic
3 green onions, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 inches of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced

Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a sieve. Pushing it through to a clean bowl with a spoon. Pour it over chicken,pork or skirt steak. Let marinate in the frig for 4 hours or overnight. Grill over medium/high heat. I used this on skirt steak and grilled it on each side for 6 minutes per side.
