1. Prepare the Pineapple
If using fresh pineapple, peel and core the fruit, then cut it into chunks. If using canned pineapple, make sure it’s packed in its natural juice with no added sugar.
2. Marinate the Meat
Place the meat in a large dish or a resealable plastic bag. Add the pineapple chunks or juice, ensuring that the meat is fully covered. You can also blend the pineapple chunks into a puree for a more even marinade.
Let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For tougher cuts of meat, marinate for up to 2 hours. Be cautious not to marinate for too long, as the bromelain can overly break down the meat and make it mushy.
3. Cook the Meat
Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the meat as desired—grill, roast, or pan-sear with a bit of olive oil until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the meat remains moist and tender. Enjoy your perfectly tender and flavorful meat!
