Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Trim and cut top sirloin steaks into bite sized cubes. In a medium sized bowl whisk in all remaining ingredients for the marinade. Allow to sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour in marinade to absorb flavours. Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat. Place cubed pineapple and sirloin cubes on small skewers. Remember to keep the skewers bite sized. Place on hot grill, cook for 3 minutes per side. The centres will be a light pink and approximately medium doneness, 160 F/71 C.
