My version..
I had stew meat in freezer, so I just used that
followed the recipe except I only had pineapple chunks

I caramelized a whole head of cauliflower in a little EVOO on the stove top
I served the steak bites over the cauliflower and then sprinkled a few crispy dried Chinese noodles on top.
