Pork and Pineapple Stir Fry

When it comes to easy family dinners, I’ve got you covered. After all, with hundreds of blog recipes and five cookbooks, dinnertime should be anything but boring. Enter this Jamaican Pineapple Pork Stir Fry recipe that is super easy to make and yet, it’s exciting to eat!

The mildly spicy Jamaican jerk seasoning combined with the pineapple sweetness gives this otherwise normal recipe a bit of a kick.

Another reason I love this dish is because it’s an affordable recipe for my family of five. Pork chops are often on sale at my local grocery and I keep a pound or two in the freezer for easy midweek meals like this one or my Hawaiian Pork Tacos recipe.

Ingredients

Simple everyday ingredients come together in this tasty yet simple pineapple pork stir fry. Check what I use and what to swap in case you need it:

Oil: for cooking.
Onions: a classic stir fry veggie that makes everything tastier.
Bell peppers: fresh or frozen. You can also use a frozen onion and pepper blend.
Pork loin or pork chops: add them sliced into strips.
Pineapple chunks: fresh, frozen, or canned; any of them work!
Jerk seasoning: I make my own blend at home, but you can also use store-bought.
Soy sauce: the saltiness balances the sweetness of pineapple.
Rice: regular or cauliflower rice for a low-carb swap.

Using Frozen Veggies

You can make this stir fry using fresh onions and bell pepper or a bag of frozen peppers and onions blend, the ones you use for fajitas, to save tons of time. Just make sure to thaw the frozen veggies before adding them to the skillet.

How to Know When the Pork Is Done

Pork is done when it is no longer pink. If you poke the pork strips with a fork, the juices must run clear or barely pink, meaning it’s ready to serve. If the juices are still pink or red, keep cooking the pork.

Watch how it’s made:

Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil, divided
1 onion, roughly chopped*
2 bell peppers, chopped*
1 pound pork loin or pork chops, sliced into strips
1 ½ cups pineapple chunks, fresh, frozen, or canned
2-3 teaspoons Jerk seasoning
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Rice, for serving

Instructions

Prep:

Cook the rice according to the package directions. Meanwhile, start on the stir fry.
Chop the peppers and onions and set aside. Trim any excess fat from the pork and slice it.

Cook:

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil. Cook the sliced pork for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on how thick you sliced it, until they're lightly golden and nearly cooked through. Remove the cooked pork from the pan onto a plate and set aside.
Add a little more oil to the pan and sauté the onions and peppers for about 5 minutes; when they begin to turn into brightly colored veggies, they're still crisp, but they've begun to cook through.
Add the pork back into the pan, the pineapple chunks, and stir while cooking and letting the pineapple release its juices. Add the soy sauce and Jerk seasoning into the pan and stir.

Serve:

Serve the stir fry with cooked rice.

Notes

Swap the onion and bell peppers for a 16-ounce bag of frozen peppers and onions blend. Make sure to thaw it out first before adding it to the pan.
Nutritional information is calculated without the rice.
