Happy Paleo Monday! Did you survive the weekend? As I mentioned in Friday’s party post, we held birthday parties for both of my kids over the weekend so I am exhausted. It is days like that make me so glad that I meal plan. Oh, and makes me thankful for recipes like paleo pork pineapple stir fry.

This stir fry is the perfect paleo replacement to your favorite Chinese take out order. It is a little sweet with a nice hint of spice too. I always toss in peppers and onions but you could easily choose your favorite stir fry vegetables instead.

Pork Pineapple Stir Fry Ingredients:

1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 Tbsp coconut aminos
2 tsp fish sauce
1 Tbsp raw honey
2 Tbsp sesame oil, divided
2 Tbsp pineapple juice
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp crushed red pepper
2 Tbsp tapioca starch
1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks
1 green pepper, cut into strips
1 red pepper, cut into strips
1/2 red onion, sliced

Let’s Make It:

1) In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, fish sauce, honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, pineapple juice, ginger, crushed red pepper and tapioca starch. Set aside.

2) Heat 1 Tbsp of sesame oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned; about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan. Add 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil along with peppers and onions. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until peppers begin to soften.

3) Return pork to pan. Stir in pineapple juice mixture. Cook for one minute. Stir in pineapple chunks. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until  sauce thickens and pineapple is heated through.

You can serve this stir fry over cauliflower rice. Sometimes I just eat it with no base though and it is so delicious. I love the combination of the fresh pineapple with the spicy sauce and crisp peppers.

What are some of your favorite quick and easy meals that are also healthier? Do you make a lot of stir fry dishes since they come together so easily?
