J. Alexander's is known for its delicious steaks and flavorful dishes. While the exact recipe for their Steak Maui may be proprietary, I can offer you a recipe inspired by the flavors typically found in this dish. Here's how you can savor the flavor of J. Alexander's Steak Maui at home:
Ingredients: – 4 beef tenderloin steaks (about 6-8 ounces each) – Salt and black pepper, to taste – Olive oil, for cooking – 1/4 cup soy sauce – 1/4 cup pineapple juice – 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced – 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger – 1 tablespoon sesame oil – 1 tablespoon rice vinegar – 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening) – Pineapple slices, for serving (optional) – Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions: Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the Steaks: Season the beef tenderloin steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to make the marinade.
Marinate the Steaks: Place the seasoned steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Prepare the Sauce: While the steaks are grilling, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a simmer over medium heat. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the simmering marinade and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
Serve: Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, you can serve the steaks with grilled pineapple slices for an extra touch of Maui flavor. Drizzle the cooked steaks with the prepared sauce and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Enjoy: Serve the J. Alexander's Steak Maui hot, alongside your favorite side dishes such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad, and enjoy the savory and tropical flavors of this delicious dish!
