We've got a pineapple pork recipe for you today and we just know you'll love this one! It's a family favorite pork stir-fry recipe that you can whip up in a hurry and know that everyone at the table will sing it praises. Serve it over some simple steamed rice or noodles and dinner is set!

Why you'll rave about this pork stir fry

  • Big chunks of sweet and juicy pineapple.
  • Tender bites of pork loin.
  • Crisp bell peppers and red onion.
  • Tossed in an Asian-influenced pork stir-fry sauce that's made from pantry-staple ingredients.

How to make this pork stir fry recipe

Our favorite recipes are always quick and easy to make, healthy, and full of flavor. Just like this one!

  1. Brown the pork in a little coconut oil.
  2. To save time, chop your veggies and mix the sauce while the pork is cooking.
  3. Add the veggies and pineapple and let them cook just a little bit. You want them to have a little crunch.
  4. Now pour the sauce into the pan and bring it to a boil so that it thickens.

That's it! Your pork stir fry is ready to eat!

How to cut a pineapple

If you haven't cut a pineapple before, don't worry, it's easy. Here's how to do it:

  • Lay the pineapple flat on a cutting board and cut off the top and bottom.
  • Now stand the pineapple upright and use a sharp knife to cut off all the skin in long thin strips.
  • While the pineapple is still standing, cut it in half.
  • Now lay the 2 pieces down and cut them in half again.
  • Stand up one of the pineapple quarters and cut off the hard inner core. Repeat with the remaining quarters.
  • All you have to do now is slice the pineapple quarters into chunks!

Can I use canned pineapple?

Yes, in a pinch. While we definitely prefer the larger chunks and flavor of fresh pineapple, canned pineapple will work in this recipe. You'll want to use 3 – 8-ounce cans of pineapple chunks. Make sure to drain the pineapple juice from the can before you add the chunks.

Note that if you use pineapple chunks that are canned in heavy syrup (versus pineapple juice) you will want to reduce or omit the honey in the sauce so it's not too sweet.

How to make a pork stir fry sauce

The pork and pineapple have a lot of flavor so the sauce can be simple so it doesn't overwhelm the stir fry. It's also really easy to make gluten-free or paleo. Here's how you'll make it (brace yourself)

  • Whisk the 6 ingredients together.

That's it! This pork stir fry sauce is very easy to make.

We like to use a 2-cup glass measuring cup when making this so we dirty fewer dishes. Simply measure ½ cup of soy sauce, then fill it to ¾ cup with the vinegar, then to almost a cup with the honey. Then we add the tapioca or cornstarch, ginger, and garlic and give it a little whisk.
