Pineapple Beef Stir Fry
On the menu is a simple Chinese food recipe- WildFit Summer season, but general population friendly. If you are tired of multiple dish meals don’t worry- this (nearly) one pot wonder is simple to prepare, and only takes a bit of marinating time, chopping and stir frying. Enjoy this colourful, flavourful recipe tonight!
This breaks one of the WildFit Challenge rules, but in all the right ways. In stir fries a sweetener is often used to caramelize the meat and bring out the flavours of the veggies. An acid is also used to tenderize the meat pre cooking, and provide active enzymes to help soften the veggies while keeping a crunch. The pineapple in this recipe does double duty, providing a subtle sweetness and aiding with digestion. As a general rule we don’t combine meat with fruit, as it is difficult to digest. However on occasion we are called to entertain guests or children who are not WildFit friendly, and this dish can provide a happy middle ground of supportive foods for you, and the perfect mix of salt, sweet and sour for them.
