Steak with Pineapple Chili Glaze – Seared Steak with Sweet Tangy Pineapple Sauce

Steak with Pineapple Chili Glaze is a bold dish where seared beef meets a thick sweet-tangy fruit glaze.

The steak develops a deep caramelized crust in a hot pan while staying tender inside. Fresh pineapple cooks down with chili and honey into a glossy, slightly sticky glaze with a bright tang.

When drizzled over sliced steak, the sauce adds shine, contrast, and a vibrant sweet-spicy kick.
