  1. I’ve already tried this one – printed it out as soon as I saw it – and give it a thumbs up. Great flavor and super simple!

    1. I’m glad there are so many good reviews. I would have never paired pinapple with steak, but I’m willing to try something new!

  3. Making this tonight!!!! Although Publix didn’t have flank steak so the butcher recommended something else….

  4. What is the difference between using canola oil vs vegetable oil in this type of recipe?

    2. Neither should be used. Canola is most likely GMO & is not shelf stable since it goes rancid easily & vegetable oil,the chemical process to make it, yuck. I used sesame seed oil in this recipe or you can use coconut oil or palm oil. Oh,& fermented soy is better bc soy is high in phytates and contain potent enzyme inhibitors that are only deactivated by fermentation, not ordinary cooking.

      1. This is not a whole foods recipe, it is for our traditional menu and we don’t have restrictions on that menu’s recipes as to what types of oil, etc are used.

  5. Is it .25 cup of oil? Also, anyone tried this with chicken? Wanting a marinade that doesnt include honey

    1. Yes, it is .25 cup of oil. Sorry, added that in. I haven’t tried it with chicken, but I bet it would be great!

  6. When it says “Place steaks in indicated number of large freezer bags and pour remaining marinade over it”, how many bags will I need? Will I need more than one quart size bag for the reserved marinade and one gallon bag for the steak? Thanks.

    1. You should be able to fit the steak into 1 gallon freezer bag and the marinade will fit into one quart bag. Generally, the rule of thumb is anything over 4 servings needs two gallon freezer bags but I think this one will fit. Enjoy!
