- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of water
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch (to thicken the sauce)
Whisk the sauce ingredients together until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set the sauce aside for later use.
STEP 3: STIR-FRY THE BEEF
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil (vegetable or sesame oil) and allow it to heat up. Add the beef to the pan in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
STEP 4: STIR-FRY THE VEGETABLES
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and bell peppers, and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they start to soften. Add the garlic and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
STEP 5: COMBINE THE INGREDIENTS
Return the beef to the pan, and add the pineapple chunks. Pour in the stir-fry sauce and toss everything together to coat the beef, vegetables, and pineapple in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the ingredients are well combined.
STEP 6: SERVE AND GARNISH
Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or basil. For added crunch and flavor, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the top.
Serve the Beef and Pineapple Stir-Fry with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy the perfect combination of savory beef, sweet pineapple, and vibrant vegetables!
