- 1 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2/3 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups dried navy beans
- 1 1/2 cups teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 6 slices thick cut bacon
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, roughly chopped
- 16 ounces ham steak, cubed
Instructions
Step 1
Soak dried navy beans overnight in a large pot. Cover with cold water, ensuring the water is 2-3 inches above the beans. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the beans. Place them in a large pot and cover with 4-5 inches of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the beans are tender but not bursting.
Step 3
In the meantime, combine teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and ginger in a medium bowl. Whisk until the brown sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 5
Reserving 2 cups of the boiled water, drain the beans.
Step 6
In a large Dutch oven, sauté bacon for 3-4 minutes over medium high heat. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and set aside.
Step 7
Add onions to the bacon fat and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and pineapple and sauté for an additional minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Step 8
Place the bacon back into the Dutch oven and add the cubed ham steak, beans, reserved water, and prepared sauce. Stir well to combine.
Step 9
Bake in the oven covered for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 200°F and continue to cook for 6 hours, stirring halfway through.
Step 10
After 6 hours, remove the lid, increase heat to 350°F and cook for an additional 1-2 hours, stirring every twenty minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
