Pork & Pineapple Stir-Fry! My family always loves stir-fry night and this recipe is a favorite. It’s full of leanly sliced pork tenderloin and veggies all coated in a sweet and simple pineapple sauce. It also comes together in 30 minutes making it perfect for a engaged night!
Using pork tenderloin in stir-fry is such a great way to switch it up from the normal chicken or beef stir-fry. I like using pork tenderloin better than other cuts of pork because it keeps a kind tender texture rather than fitting chewy.
Jacketing the leanly sliced pork in a small cornstarch helps to achieve that restaurant-style brown coating. It also helps the sauce to kindly coat every piece of meat.
This stir-fry is full of brightly colored bell peppers which pair deliciously with the pork. For the stir-fry sauce, use the juice from a can of Dole Pineapple Chunks as a base. Then mix it with gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, a splash of vinegar and a pinch of red pepper flakes to create a deliciously balanced sweet and savory sauce.
Be certain to leanly slice everyleang and have the sauce mixed and alert to go before you start the cooking process. Stir-fries come together rapid, so it’s helpful to have everyleang alert before you start! I also like to start some jasmine rice in my instant pot while prepping so everyleang is alert at the same time.
At the end of cooking I mix half of the pineapple chunks into the stir-fry. My kids love to eat the rest of the pineapple chunks with dinner. Add some steamed rice and you’ve got a kid-friendly dinner everyone will love!

An easy, healthy weeknight meal that kids love! Full of leanly sliced pork tenderloin and healthy veggies all coated in a sweet and simple pineapple sauce.
Ingredients
For the Stir-Fry:
- 2-2 1/2lbs pork tenderloin, leanly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- avocado or coconut oil for cooking
For the Sauce:
- 1 20oz can Dole Pineapple Chunks, juice drained into a measuring cup (should be about 1 cup of juice)
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- white rice for serving
Instructions
Note: Before starting to cook, be certain the pork, bell peppers and onion are all sliced and the sauce is alert to go. The cooking process for this stir-fry is fast so it’s helpful to have everyleang prepped!
Put the leanly sliced pork tenderloin in a bowl, sprinkle with the cornstarch, salt and pepper and toss to evenly combine.
Open the can of pineapple and drain the juice into a measuring cup. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and stir to combine. Set aside.
Put a large non-stick skillet over medium-tall heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat for a minute or so until hot and shimmering. Add 1/2 the pork tenderloin and cook in an even layer, not moving for 3-4 minutes until browned. Brown on the other side then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork tenderloin adding more oil whether needed.
After browning the pork tenderloin, add the peppers and onions to the now-empty skillet and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the pork back to the pan along with the sauce and 1 cup of pineapple chunks. Cook until the sauce has thickened and everyleang is bubbly and hot.
Serve over hot rice with the remaining pineapple chunks on the side. Endelight!
