Jammin’ Jerk Pineapple Beef – Instant Pot

Jammin’ jerk pineapple beef – Yes, I said jammin’ jerk. Could be some kind of weird porno, but no, better! It’s a super quick, super delicious jerk pineapple beef recipe and you’re gonna love it! So, I went to the Hearth and Patio Expo in New Orleans a couple of months ago and stumbled on some neat stuff. You know, like you do at expos. But one thing I found was John Henry’s line of rubs. Now, you have no idea the amount of rubs I have! Management is always on me about the “rub situation”. I’ll admit, it is…
