• Make the Sauce — In a jar with a lid, combine pineapple juice, tamari, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch. Shake or whisk until smooth.

  Cook the Onion & Beef —

  Option 1 (Sweeter, Softer Onion): Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes before adding ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

  Option 2 (Quicker, Savory Onion): Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion together, cooking until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain excess fat if needed.

  Add Remaining Veggies — Stir in bell pepper and broccoli. Cook for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

  Sauce It Up — Give the sauce a quick shake and pour over the beef and vegetables. Stir well and simmer 2–3 minutes until thickened.

  Add Pineapple — Stir in pineapple chunks and cook for about 1 minute until heated through.

  Serve — Spoon over hot rice and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Tips & Notes:

• Cornstarch Amount: 1 tablespoon will create a light, glossy coating that clings nicely without feeling heavy. For a thicker, more glaze-like sauce, increase to 1 ½ tablespoons.

  Add crushed red pepper flakes or sliced chili for heat.

  Works well with chicken, turkey.

  Fresh pineapple is great — just be sure to include juice for the sauce.
