The Deets
The ultimate recipe to make on the grill is marinated steak and pineapple flatbreads with a jalapeño lime crema. Flatbreads have become one of my go-to options for grilling because they are much easier to handle than pizza and every bit as delicious. These flatbreads start with a citrusy marinade that infuses the steak with incredible flavor and ensures the meat is exceptionally tender. This marinade, a cherished family recipe I’ve been perfecting for years, strikes the perfect balance between spicy and sweet. It combines the zesty freshness of citrus with just the right amount of heat, creating a mouthwatering experience that keeps everyone coming back for more. Grilling the flatbreads imparts a lovely smoky flavor and a delightful crispness that pairs wonderfully with the succulent marinated steak. The addition of sweet, juicy pineapple provides a burst of tropical freshness that complements the savory richness of the steak. Topping it all off is a jalapeño lime crema, which adds a creamy, tangy finish with a hint of spice, tying all the flavors together beautifully. This dish is not only a treat for your taste buds but also a fantastic way to impress your friends and family at your next barbecue. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy a truly exceptional meal! If you enjoyed this be sure to check out some other flatbread recipe ideas here.
