Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin
Description
I am going to let you in on a little secret I wish someone had told me before I threw one of the more disastrous dinner parties of my short but colorful mid-20s entertaining career: Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin is the absolute EASIEST, most foolproof way to cook juicy, succulent pork.
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin 1 ½ to 2 pounds*
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil divided
- PRESSURE COOKING LIQUID & GRAVY:
- ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch combined with 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry
Directions
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- While the pork rests, in a small bowl stir together the garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients but the cornstarch slurry: chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and Dijon.
- Cut away and discard the silver skin from the pork tenderloin. Pat it dry with paper towels, then rub with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture all over the outside of the pork.
- Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté. Let heat for 1 minute, then add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add the pork and sear on all sides until lightly browned. Remove to a plate.
