### Beef Pops Pineapple and Parsley Sauce Recipe
#### Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (93% lean)
- 2 tbsp pineapple juice
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, canned or fresh (drained)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp honey
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Beef Pops:**
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with pineapple juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs (around 1-inch in diameter). You should have about 20-24 balls.
2. **Cooking the Beef Pops:**
- Preheat an oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the formed beef pops onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly golden on the outside.
3. **Prepare the Pineapple and Parsley Sauce:**
- While the beef pops bake, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic; sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in chopped parsley and cook for another minute to infuse flavors.
4. **Combine and Simmer:**
- Add pineapple chunks to the skillet with the parsley mixture.
- Pour in heavy cream and honey, stirring well to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. **Serve:**
- Once the beef pops are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Toss the beef pops gently in the pineapple and parsley sauce, making sure each pop is evenly coated.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
6. **Enjoy Your Meal:**
- Serve hot as a main dish or side with your favorite vegetables or rice.
#### Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the ground beef in pineapple juice and soy sauce for 30 minutes before shaping into pops.
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh to enhance the natural flavors of this delightful dish.
This recipe combines the savory richness of ground beef with the sweet tanginess of pineapple, creating a unique and flavorful experience. The parsley adds a refreshing touch that balances well with the other components, making it perfect for special occasions or everyday meals alike.
