Preparation

Step 1
Place butter in a 5-quart casserole with a tight-fitting lid. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power microwave oven for 2 minutes. Stir in onions. Cook, uncovered, for 4 minutes.
Step 2
Sprinkle roast with the salt and some pepper. Remove casserole from oven. Stir in rhubarb. Place the pork, fat side down, diagonally in the casserole, pushing the onion mixture around the roast. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Uncover and turn roast over. Re-cover and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover and turn roast again. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Step 4
While roast is cooking, preheat broiler. Remove casserole from oven. Transfer pork to a small roasting pan, fat side up. Place under broiler until top browns, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Let roast stand for 10 minutes. Remove strings. Cut in ¼-inch thick slices. Stir several grinds of pepper into the sauce. Pour a generous ¼-cup sauce onto each plate. Place two slices of pork over sauce and serve.

Watch temperature with a thermometer. Meat was overcooked cooked after the second 10 minute cooking

I am cooking with only an electric oven & stove top. It's unclear to me if this recipe is written entirely for microwave oven, until last browning step. Of course my preference would be to have some basic oven cooking advice included, such as temperature of oven, confirm if cooking times are diff or same, etc. I have rhubarb and pork loin on hand that need to be cooked. I'll just ad lib a little based on this recipe. Thx.
