Spiced Pineapple Pork - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 boneless pork loin steaks, trimmed of excess fat
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon tomato paste
14 ounces pineapple, rings in juice, drained, but juice reserved
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
cilantro leaf, to serve
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

Preparation

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 paste and most of the pineapple juice in a bowl.
Add the pineapple rings to the pan and let them caramelise a little alongside the pork.
Add the chili 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 cilantro, and serve with rice and Chinese greens.
