Ingredients

Scale

For the marinade:

  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For the pork:

  • 2 to 2.5 lb pork loin

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)

  • 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple chunks

  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish)

  • Optional: sesame seeds and extra marinade for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.

  2. Place pork loin in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove pork from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade.

  4. Season pork with salt and pepper.

  5. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides until browned (about 2–3 minutes per side).

  6. Pour reserved marinade into the skillet and add pineapple chunks around the pork.

  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 35–45 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  8. Baste pork with juices halfway through cooking.

  9. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  10. Slice and serve with pan juices, pineapple, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Make a quick pineapple salsa with diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and lime for a fun topping.

  • Pork tenderloin can be used instead of pork loin for a faster-cooking option—just reduce the cook time.

  • Leftovers are delicious in tacos or over rice bowls.
