Pineapple has an enzyme called bromelain that softens muscle fiber. This enzyme reacts with the protein in the meat to break it down and increases the meat's potential to absorb more moisture

I discovered the effect of bromelain when I marinated a flank steak in grapefruit juice once. It's a good thing I cooked it when I did or I think it might have disintegrated eventually! I'll still use it or pineapple juice but now I know that I have to limit how long something is marinated.
@kimutaikim thanks - I always wanted to try and make ribs but I only have had bad experiences (but usually tried with beef short ribs which don’t have a lot of meat but lots of fat)
I pressure cook mine in beer for 25 minutes
And then put it on the big green egg
Direct heat for 20 minutes
Absolutely delicious
But i will try pineapple
It sounds tasty
