PORK 'N' PINEAPPLE STIR-FRY



Pork 'n' Pineapple Stir-Fry image

I believe this recipe was taken from a very, very old copy of the Canadian version of Reader's Digest, and I think the lady who contributed it was a Canadian marathon runner. For a really spectacular presentation, cut a pineapple in half; use the pulp in this recipe and pile the stir-fry into the shell. An abolutely amazing recipe, I think, but judge for yourself. It is tasty and relatively simple and quick to prepare. (Note: I sometimes add about a cup of mushrooms, too - you can play with the veggie content. I also serve Soy sauce on the side.)

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pork tenderloin (about 12 ounces), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups cooked brown rice or rice blend
1 white onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved
1/2 small pineapple, cored and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (2 cups)
1 tablespoon Sriracha or chili-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup packed chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over high. Add rice and reheat, covered, shaking skillet a few times, 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, stir in cilantro, and cover to keep warm.
  • Return skillet to high heat; swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add pork and cook, stirring a few times, until browned in places and almost cooked through, 2 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, onion, bell pepper, green beans, and pineapple to now-empty skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together Sriracha sauce, cornstarch, and 1 cup water in a small bowl; add mixture to skillet along with pork and any accumulated juices. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens, about 30 seconds. Divide rice over four plates; spoon stir-fry on top and garnish with more cilantro before serving.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Cut of Pork: Choose a tender cut of pork, such as pork tenderloin or pork loin, for a quick and easy stir-fry. These cuts cook quickly and remain tender and juicy.
  • Marinate the Pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, and ginger before cooking adds extra flavor and helps tenderize the meat.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables, such as pineapple, bell peppers, and carrots, add color, texture, and nutrients to the stir-fry. Choose vegetables that are crisp and firm.
  • Cut Vegetables Uniformly: Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. This will also ensure that they have a similar texture when cooked.
  • Cook in a Hot Wok or Pan: Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet over high heat to stir-fry the pork and vegetables. The high heat will help sear the meat and vegetables, giving them a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Stir-Fry in Batches: If you are cooking a large amount of pork and vegetables, stir-fry them in batches. This will prevent the ingredients from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of stir-frying.
  • Add Sauce and Seasonings: Once the pork and vegetables are cooked, add a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, rice wine, and brown sugar. Season the stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the pork and pineapple stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles. This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Pork and pineapple stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The combination of tender pork, sweet pineapple, and crisp vegetables makes this dish a hit with everyone.
