Attention all fruit-curious adventurers and pineapple skeptics rolling their eyes from the safety of their kitchen corners—yeah, we see you. Here’s the deal: this ain’t your grandma’s stir-fry. This one’s a juicy dance party where sweet pineapple high-fives savory sauce on a reliable rice dance floor. It’s got the vitamins, the fiber, and the swagger to shimmy right into the hearts of those who think fruit in dinner is some kind of edible treason. Still not convinced? Imagine this: in the time it takes for your rice to transform from crunchy potential to fluffy perfection, this dish is done. Boom. Weeknight sorcery. So grab that pineapple, channel your inner rebel, and make a meal that’s as bold as your New Year’s resolutions (even the ones you’ve already ditched).

Ingredients You'll Need:

  • 2 Juicy Marbles Thick-Cut Filets
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 cm of ginger
  • 250 g fresh pineapple
  • 130 g snap peas (other vegetables like cabbage or broccoli work as well)
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice 
  • Zest of 1/2 lime
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 4 tbsp pineapple juice
  • Rice to serve
  • Fresh coriander for garnish

 Instructions:

  1. Start by cooking the rice of your choice according to the package instructions.
  2. Slice the onion into half-moons, peel and grate or press the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.
  3. Clean the snap peas, and chop the pineapple into bite-sized pieces (removing the core for a better eating experience).
  4. Cut two Marbles filets into chunks.
  5. Make the sauce by mixing 4 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of lime juice, the zest of ½ lime, 2 tbsp of ketchup, and 4 tbsp of pineapple juice.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil in a pan. Add the Marbles chunks and cook for 5–7 minutes, until browned on all sides.
  7. Heat 2 tbsp of neutral oil over medium-high heat, and add the sliced onion. Fry for 1-2 minutes, until it starts to brown.
  8. Add the grated or pressed garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  9. Turn the heat to high. Add the pineapple chunks and fry for 3 minutes, until they start to caramelize but still hold their shape.
  10. Add the snap peas and continue mixing, aiming for a bit of char on them.
  11. After 2 minutes, add the sauce mixture and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until it starts to thicken. Add Marbles chunks and mix.
  12. Serve over rice, and garnish with fresh coriander and sesame seeds.
