Method

  1. Add the oil to a large non-stick pan, season the steaks well, then fry for 5 mins on each side until golden and almost cooked through. Mix the sugar, soy, tomato purée and most of the pineapple juice in a bowl.
  2. Add the pineapple rings to the pan and let them caramelise a little alongside the pork. Add the chilli and five-spice to the pan, then fry for 1 min until aromatic. Tip in the soy mix and let it bubble around the pork and pineapple for a few mins until slightly reduced and sticky. Sprinkle with coriander, and serve with rice and Chinese greens.

    So simple and absolutely delicious. I had pork rib steaks in the freezer and all other ingredients in my store cupboard so it was extra easy. Left out the coriander. I prepared in a large flat pan and then transferred to my slow cooker. Delicious.

    Very scrummy - the best pineapple sauce I've ever tasted. Made it with chicken instead of pork and served with rice - it will be on our weekly menu from now on!

    Too spicy! Because I was unsure about liking the 5 spice I swapped the quantitys and used 1tsp of chilli powder and 1/2tsp of 5 spice. What a mistake! It was far too spicy and I'm not sure whether using 1/2tsp of chilli powder would still be too much. If I make it next time, will probably leave out the chilli powder. It also felt like it was lacking something. It didn't feel very substantial. You need to have some kind of accompaniment with it.

    We loved this. Didn't have 5 spice so used allspice, which I've found before works very well as a substitute, also added a couple of star anise with the liquid. Simmered for about 10 mins at the end - it tasted authentically Chinese. (Isn't it nice to have the comments back?!)

    Great recipe I also use pork shoulder and cook it very slowly in the oven with all the ingredients in the pan together. But add the pineapple rings 20 mins to the end. Served with rice.

    Pretty tasty and quick as a mid-week dinner. I might try adding onions and peppers next time to bulk out the veg content.

    I made it for dinner tonight and it was fabulous even though I halved the amount and put in twice as much puree, I served it with the master chef range of Spanish style potato wedges.

    Just a few ingredients, really easy to make, but the result is fantastic. I added a bit more salt to the sauce and also a bit of water before serving. The combination of the spices was incredibly tasty and the pineapple gave it a great kick. We had a plain rice as a side dish. Definitely 6 out of 6 :o)

    Really nice, simple and quick. Being a student i love recipes which don't involve much mess and this one was a beauty. Add some green chilies for an extra kick.
