1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak (about 1/2 inch thick), cut into 4 equal pieces
8 ounces fresh poblano chiles
1 small white onion, sliced crosswise into 1/2 inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grill
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

In a large glass dish, combine pineapple juice and soy sauce. Add steak, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat broiler with rack in top position. Place poblanos and onion on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until charred, about 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. When poblanos are cool enough to handle, rub with a paper towel to remove skins. Remove stems and seeds and discard. Roughly chop poblanos and onion and place in a medium bowl. Stir in oil, lime juice and cilantro; season relish with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan to high (see note). Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill steak about 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Serve steak with relish. Note: To check grill temperature, count the seconds you can hold your hand, palm side down, 2 to 3 inches above the rack, until it feels uncomfortable: 2 seconds for hot.
