Preparation Method Steps:

  1. In a large bowl, cut the pork into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to "Sauté" mode and add the pork, browning it on all sides. This will help lock in the juices and flavors.
  3. Add the garlic and onion and continue to cook until the pork is well coated with the flavors.
  4. Pour in the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
  5. Add the pineapple chunks and bell pepper slices. Seal the Instant Pot and set it to cook at high pressure for 20 minutes.
  6. After the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the pot.
  7. Serve over rice or noodles with extra sweet and sour sauce on the side, if desired.
