Pork Loin Steaks With Pineapple Sauce Recipe

Pineapple goes with fresh pork as well as it does with ham. The classic combination of two different tastes working together for maximum flavor. The acidity of the pineapple cuts through the richness of the pork, creating the sweet and savory classic flavors. This pineapple sauce is a quick and easy pan gravy. Some boneless pork loin chops can be a bit tough to the bite. This recipe calls for the steaks to be 1 1/2 inches thick. If you can't find this size at your grocery store, any local butcher shop can cut the meat to your specific needs. To avoid any toughness, simply place between sheets of plastic wrap and lightly pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to tenderize. Reshape and proceed with the recipe. If you are using fresh pineapple, be sure to reserve the juices as you cut the pineapple, and enjoy the leftover pineapple fresh as-is or in other recipes, desserts or cocktails. And remember, pork can be cooked and served medium doneness (145 f). This recipe is relatively simple and you can have this on the table in less than 30 minutes, making it a special weeknight dinner. This recipe pairs well with a simple rice or mashed potato. You will want a side dish to soak up the sweet and savory pineapple sauce. If you have any leftovers, these can easily be reheated and enjoyed as is, or even on a sandwich the next day.
