How to Make Pineapple Beef Stir-Fry

Pineapple beef stir-fry is a vibrant, sweet-and-savory dish that’s quick to prepare and bursting with flavor. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

- 500g beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

- 1 fresh pineapple, cored and cubed

- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp ginger, grated

- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp oyster sauce

- 1 tsp cornstarch

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Optional: 1 tsp honey for extra sweetness

Instructions:

1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes to tenderize.

2. Prep the pineapple: Pat the pineapple cubes dry to prevent excess moisture in the stir-fry.

3. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the beef and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

4. Sauté aromatics: In the same pan, garlic and ginger until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

5. Combine: Return the beef to the pan, add the pineapple, and toss everything together. Drizzle with honey if using. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the pineapple is slightly caramelized.

6. Serve: Immediately over steamed rice or noodles.

Tips: For a tangier twist, add a splash of pineapple juice. Serve hot for the best texture! Enjoy this tropical-inspired meal that balances tender beef, juicy pineapple, and crisp veggies.
