I’ve been reading a lot lately about the benefits of pineapple in your diet. Did you know, for example, that pineapple juice is known to be 5 times as effective as a cough suppressant? Pineapples are loaded with vitamin A and C, fiber, potassium, phosphorous and calcium. It does the body good. I’ve been trying to make an effort to use pineapple more here at the house- just like I use honey in a lot of baking and cooking recipes. 2/3 of my kids adore pineapple. The other tolerates it. They all do like the juice from pineapples. Anyway, that’s what inspired sharing this Beef and Pineapple Curry recipe…. the pineapple. So good, and such a great flavor pairing with beef!
Beef and Pineapple Curry
Ingredients
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
3 tbsp Curry
1 tbsp Ginger, grated
2 cloves minced garlic
2-3 lbs Beef*, Cut into 1 inch Cubes
1 Red Bell Pepper, cut in 1 inch pieces
1 Medium Onion, cut in strips
2 cans Pineapple Chunks, drained with 2 tbsp juice reserved
1 can coconut milk, refrigerated
Instructions
Heat Oil over Medium Heat then add garlic and curry stirring constantly for about 1 minute until both darken slightly.
Add Beef and reserved pineapple juice and stir to coat with curry mixture. Cook the Beef through, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the onion and saute for a few minutes to soften slighten before adding the Peppers and Pineapple.
Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until the peppers just start to soften.
Add the cream of the Coconut milk which should be hardened at the top of the can and easy to scoop out and bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer and allow to cook until sauce thickens.
Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Serve over Prepared Rice.
*Beef Stew Meat works well if you intend to simmer the beef for about an hour before adding the pineapple and coconut milk. Otherwise choose a boneless steak.

I don’t have coconut milk, and my fiancee hates it! Is there anything that you could substitute?
Brett says
Meg- maybe “plain” almond milk? rice milk?
