Slow Cooker Pineapple Barbecued Pork Strips Recipe
This pineapple barbecued pork strips recipe uses a simple marinade with soy sauce, dry sherry, brown sugar, garlic, and pepper, then cooks low and slow for tender strips. Barbecue sauce and pineapple chunks are added near the end so the sauce stays bright and balanced. Follow the steps for how to make it and adjust the sauce thickness right before serving.
Ingredients
For the marinade and slow cooking
Step-by-Step Method
Mix the marinade
In a bowl, stir together soy sauce, dry sherry, brown sugar, garlic, and black pepper until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Add to the slow cooker
Place the pork strips in the slow cooker. Pour the marinade over and gently toss so everything is coated.
Cook low and slow
Cover and cook on LOW for about 8 hours. If you can, give the strips a gentle stir once or twice during cooking.
Finish with BBQ sauce and pineapple
During the last 30 minutes, stir in the barbecue sauce and drained pineapple chunks. If the sauce looks too thick, add 1–3 tablespoons water to adjust.
Serve
Spoon the sauce over the pork and serve hot. It’s great with rice, buns, or a simple salad on the side.
