Ingredients
- 1 (1½ – 2 pound) pork loin roast
- Kosher or fine sea salt
- Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ cup San-J Sweet & Tangy Sauce
- 4-5 slices bacon
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
- 4 green onions, sliced
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
- Season the pork roast generously with salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Heat an oven-proof skillet large enough to hold the roast over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let heat until it starts to shimmer.
- Sear the roast on all sides (don’t move the roast until it is browned on one side, then turn), about 10 minutes.
- Remove the roast from the pan and brush it with some San-J Sweet & Tangy Sauce. Wrap the bacon around the roast.
- Wipe out the pan and set the roast back in it. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Turn the broiler to high and crisp up the bacon, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the roast from the pan and place on a serving platter. Tent with foil and let rest while you make the sauce.
- Wipe out most of the bacon fat from the pan and pour in the rest of the Sweet & Tangy sauce along with the pineapples. Cook over medium-high heat until heated through.
- Stir in the green onions and spoon the sauce over the roast. Serve and enjoy!
