Ingredients
  • 16 ounces pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Frank's wing sauce
  • 2 - 4 pineapple rings
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Stir salt, pepper, cumin chili powder & cinnamon in a bowl. Coat all sides of pork in powder mix.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork cubes on all sides for about 4 minutes (you're giving it a good sear that will give the meat more flavor and better texture). Add meat to an oven-safe pan.
  4. Stir together brown sugar, garlic and wing sauce until it is thickened and thoroughly combined. Pour the sauce over the cooked meat, coating it entirely.
  5. Using the skillet used to brown the pork, grill pineapple on medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side. Layer pineapple slices on top of the sauced pork. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
