  • 1 lb lean ground beef ((450g))
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion ((diced))
  • 2 cloves garlic ((minced))
  • ½ red bell pepper ((cubed))
  • 1 cup snow peas ((trimmed and cut in half))
  • 1 cup pineapples in natural juice ((cubed) (150g))
  • ¾ cup reserved pineapple juice ((180ml))
  • 3 tbsp tomato ketchup (or tomato sauce)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp corn starch

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, salt, pepper, and corn starch. Gather meat in hand and throw against the side of the bowl for about 3 to 4 minutes. Meat will come together in a ball.
  • Shape into 1¼-inch diameter meatballs.
  • Place meatballs onto a non-stick baking pan and bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 30 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Mix all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or pan over medium high heat. Sauté onions until lightly brown.
  • Add red bell peppers and snow peas. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables turn to a bright color. Remove and set aside.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
  • Pour in sauce mixture. When sauce comes to a boil and thickens, add cooked meatballs. Allow meatballs to cook through.
  • Finally, add cooked vegetables and pineapples. Stir to get everything well coated with sauce, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove and serve immediately with steamed rice.
