Heat the broiler. Place the pineapple slices on a foil-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic and mustard. Rub the pork with the sauce.
Place the pork in the broiler, about 4 inches from the heat; place the pineapple on the rack below the pork. Broil the pork until it registers 145°F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the broiler (let rest 10 minutes before slicing- the temp. will rise to 150°F. as the pork sits). Turn the pineapple slices; cook until browned in spots, about 10 minutes more.
Halve the pineapple slices; arrange on a platter with the sliced pork. Drizzle the pork with the pan juices; season with salt and pepper. Serve with quick ginger sauce.

In a small bowl, stir together all sauce ingredients; season with salt and pepper.

Peeling ginger: I find that it's easiest to grate ginger when it's frozen. Shave the peel off with a potato peeler and place it in the freezer for about 15 minutes or so before grating. When you're finished, you can put the remaining fresh ginger piece in a zip bag and keep in the freezer for future use. It keeps just fine in the freezer.
Try grilling this recipe if you'd like. Grilled pineapple is fabulous!
