- Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay the slices of onion over the seasoned pork tenderloin.
- Top with the remaining pineapple slices.
- Place in a preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until an instant-read meat thermometer reads 145-degrees. OR place on top of two bricks on an outdoor grill, cover, and cook until an instant-read meat thermometer reads 145-degrees.
- Once the pork reaches 145-degrees remove it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve the pineapple pork tenderloin by spooning the pan juices over the top, if desired.
Notes
*NOTE - cover the pork with aluminum foil if it's getting too dark before it is completely done cooking, and return it to the oven (or grill). Be aware that if cooking this on the grill, the cooking process may take a little longer.
Turn your outdoor grill into an outdoor oven by placing two aluminum foil-covered bricks on the grates of the grill, and place the dish on top of the bricks for indirect cooking.
