Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork loin roast
• 2 cups Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat the convection microwave to 375°F (190°C) on the convection setting.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.

Step 3

3. Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels, then rub it with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

4. Place the pork in a microwave-safe baking dish and pour the marinade over it. Add the pineapple chunks around and on top of the pork.

Step 5

5. Cover the dish loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.

Step 6

6. Cook the pork roast in the convection microwave for 50-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the pan juices every 15 minutes.

Step 7

7. Once cooked, remove the pork from the microwave and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Step 9

9. Slice the pork roast into 1/2-inch-thick slices and drizzle the pineapple sauce over the top.
