Beef and Pineapple Dinner




I added some shredded carrots and diced up a jalepeno to add. That made it PERFECT because otherwise it would have been too sweet. It gave it a bite (but one my 2 year old could handle) and the sauce toned down the jalepeno. The sauce is pretty thick but still good. We had it over white rice. I only had 3/4 cup of pineapple juice, so I added apple juice to make it the right amount.

I tried the recipe because the sauce was similar to a sweet & sour sauce ive made before for chicken, and loved. I love hawaiian style foods, so am constantly trying ones such as, but this was extremely good, had a great meal for me and my boyfriend but w/ plenty of leftovers for lunches.

I skipped the onions since they werent on hand, added a bit more pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, and brown sugar…(you know..the good stuff ;] ) , topped it over jasmine rice and I think it was all for the best! 5 star meal!

I love this recipe. Simple and yet tasty. I just add more mustard and cider vinegar. I also cut down on the brown sugar and it was not too sweet;it was delicious. Andrée

Excellent dish using leftovers!! My family Loved it! My husband had thirds and even ate what the kids left on their plates. I made the dish exactly as written. Alone I can see how other viewers said it was to sweet. I served the beef and pineapple mixture on top of plain brown rice and it was delicious! I will be making this every time I make a beef and have leftovers from now on. Thank you for the great recipe!

This is very tasty. Did not measure beef, used a yellow onion, added grated carrots and used all the pineapple in the can (i think 14 oz can). Also added a diced jalapeño and mustard powder, to give it a little zing. Did have extra juice, which was needed to make correct amount. Served over cooked barley, as dh won’t eat rice, but will use quinoa next time. Made early in the day and was great reheated.

I thought this was easy and tasty…though not great. DH said he’d rather have his beef as beef. Ha. That’s his personal preference and is not a real consideration for this rating. I’m not sure what I would do to improve it.

As my 8 oz jar of pineapple didn’t provide enough juice, I substituted orange juice. I also used the full amount of vinegar and it was perfect! Added some chopped carrots and broccoli for nutrients, a few slices of chopped jalapeños and the entire family loved it! I’d recommend cooking quickly over high heat (using oil, not butter) as this definitely provides some depth of flavor.

This was a delicious way to use up the leftover beef from the holidays! I added red onion on the kabobs, but aside from that made the recipe exactly as called for. Highly recommended!

My family loves this meal! I use leftover beef from holidays or buy the slabs in the store. Either way, this recipe is soooo yummy!!! I didn’t add any onions because I have children, this was better th a n I expected not too sweet.

I really enjoyed it. Though I did not think it was quite sweet enough so I added a Tbsp. of brown sugar and a sprinkle of salt. It was delicious. I love the addition of mustard. Also, it calls for a lot of cornstarch to thicken it so be careful when heating it up so it does not get too thick.

This was so easy to make. A perfect way to use those beef leftovers. Everyone at the table enjoyed it and it wasn’t too sweet as some reviewers have said. This will definitely be used again next time I make a beef.
