Add pineapple chunks and oregano. Season with salt and black pepper to taste; mix to combine. Add the sauce. Secure the lid to the instant pot and cook for 10 minutes. When the time is over, let the pressure release on its own for 5 minutes. Then, carefully turn the valve to “Venting,” to release any extra pressure that might still be in there. Then remove the lid and serve.

I have uncooked Polynesian seasoned pork chops from Omaha steaks can I still use this recipe for it or do you think it’ll be too much overpowering flavor?
Hello Gabriella!
I LOVE my Instant Pot and this recipe is one of my family’s fave. I haven’t tried the Polynesian pork chop form Omaha but I think it could work great! I would recommend reducing the amount of soy sauce to avoid it ending up too salty. So add 3 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon soy sauce, the rest remains the same.
Thanks so much for your interest in my recipe and let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
