Steak and Ale Meat Marinade – enjoy a steakhouse steak at home.
While Steak and Ale may no longer be around, you can still enjoy their steak with our special recipe. You can use this marinade on steaks and chicken. The Pineapple juice adds a complex citrus flavor to your meats. With our recipe you can enjoy steaks and chicken just like they came from a steakhouse any night of the week. The restaurant may no longer be around, but you can still enjoy food inspired by them.
3 1/2 C. Pineapple Juice
1 C. Soy Sauce
1 C. Dry White Wine
1/2 C. Red Wine Vinegar
3/4 C. Sugar
2 tsp. Garlic, minced fine
Simply mix all together. You can let the meat sit in here for up to 24 hours. I would highly suggest a grilling, or even a pan-frying of the meat of your choice. Add a little bit of butter to the pan if you are going to cook it in a skillet.

I used to work at Steak-n-Ale as a kid and worked with this marinade for a while. I asked, and the cook described it as “soy, pineapple, and wine,” but I never got the “official” recipe. A term of the employment was that they had to give you a meal during the working hours. Marinaded chicken breast was my favorite of all their food.
I’ve come up with my own equivalent, but I appreciate seeing this here!
Thanks,
David….which steak-n-ale did you work at? And when?
you have to use brown sugar
I used splenda, because i am diabetic, have you tried the recipe with sugar and you know it doesn’t taste as if you used brown sugar, because as a cook, I would tend to agree with you, but I read your posting after I mixed everything together, is there anything I can do to use brown sugar also?
i worked as a cook for s&afor 7 years in okc 20 years ago the recipe is wrong you do use soy pinn juice ond wine but you use garlic powder and white pepper and surger i dont remem the exact recipe. i wish i did i love the kensington club steak.
Here is the recipe I have from S& A. I’ve had it for years.
Steak & Ale Marinate
8 oz soy sauce
10 oz Sherry
28 oz Pineapple Juice
4 oz red wine vinegar
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons MSG
1 teaspoon garlic powder
I usually bring to a low boil to dissolve sugar. Marinate meat or chicken at least overnight. Grill.
