What’s for Dinner? 5-Ingredient Pineapple Pork Bowls

Summer dinners don’t have to be complicated and they don’t have to require a ton of slicing and dicing (unless, of course, you want them to!). The proof? These 5-ingredient pork and pineapple bowls that take no time at all. The ingredient list is short and sweet, especially if you have a Trader Joe’s nearby. Just roast the broccoli, cook the rice, and quickly sauté lean pork tenderloin and sweet pineapple for a crowd-pleasing dinner that you won’t be able to stop eating.

One of the best parts of this recipe is that it’s a complete meal. No need for extra sides, and no extra planning or cooking. Pile everything in one bowl and drizzle with extra sauce. Trust me, you won’t want to skip that step!

• 1 pork tenderloin, about 1 lb.

• 1 cup Soyaki sauce from Trader Joe’s

• 1 head broccoli

• 1 cup fresh pineapple, cubed

• 1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed

• 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil

• 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper, each

• 2 cups water

• pinch of Kosher salt

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Cube pork tenderloin into 1” pieces and place into a medium bowl. Cover pork with Soyaki sauce and place into refrigerator for at least 30 mins, up to a few hours.

3. Chop broccoli head into florets and place onto sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Drizzle on oil and toss with hands. Season with salt and pepper then roast for 20 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, cook the rice by rinsing well then adding to a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 20 minutes or until liquid has absorbed. Keep covered but remove from heat and let steam for another 5 minutes.

5. To cook the pork, heat a large skillet over medium high heat, then add the pork, shaking off extra marinade.

6. Let pork cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to help caramelize, then toss and cook another 3-4 minutes. Add in cubed pineapple and remaining marinade to pan. Cook 1-2 more minutes.

7. Assemble bowls by adding a scoop of rice, followed by roasted broccoli, then the pork and pineapple topped with a drizzle of sauce from pan. Enjoy!
