Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and oil. Whisk the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves. Introduce the onion and ginger into the bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for later use with butter. Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag along with the rest of the marinade. Seal the bag securely while pressing out any extra air. Refrigerate for a minimum of one day to allow flavors to develop.

2. 2

   Take out the steaks from the marinade, then gently dry them with a paper towel. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for approximately 1 hour.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, combine the butter and oil by whisking vigorously. Add the reserved marinade and season with salt. Place the mixture in the center of a piece of parchment paper and shape it into a log by rolling it up. Refrigerate until it becomes firm, which should take at least 1 hour.
