How long do you cook pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot?
So this is always the million dollar question – how long should I cook the pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot? Most people tend to overcook it. But seriously 3 minutes in the Instant Pot on high pressure is all it takes. (Let the raw pork sit on the counter for about 20 min before cooking it). Cut each tenderloin into 2 pieces first. Don’t open the Instant Pot when it’s done, allow it to set for 12 minutes and then release the pressure – there won’t be much pressure. If you double the recipe, keep the times the same. Pressure cooking doesn’t affect the time.
Don’t skip the gravy
The gravy is one of the best parts to this recipe. I love to cook homemade noodles right in the gravy. (No need to thicken it if you cook the noodles in the gravy). So it’s truly a one pot meal!
How to make Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin in Pictures:
Take the pork tenderloin out of the fridge for about 20 minutes. This is important. I like to trim any fat that I can easily cut off. Cut each tenderloin into 2 pieces. Pat dry. Press “Sauté” on the Instant Pot and allow it to heat.
In a small bowl, mix together fresh rosemary, garlic, Casa M Whole Hog (paid link) Pork Seasoning and salt. Add about 1 tablespoon olive oil to the Instant Pot.
Use a pastry brush and brush the rest of the oil over the pieces of pork. With your fingers rub in the Casa M Whole Hog mixture.
Place the pieces in the hot Instant Pot. Let them brown at least 1 minute on each side. Remove pieces to a plate. Press cancel on the Instant Pot.
Scrape the browned bits in the pot and add chicken broth, soy sauce, Liquid Smoke, and honey.
Add the pieces of pork back into the Instant Pot.
Add lid, turn knob to sealing (on older models). Pressure cook on high for 3 min. Allow to natural release for 12 minutes – this is important. Release pressure. Remove pork to a plate. Cover with foil and allow meat to rest at least 10 min before cutting it while you are making the gravy.
Take about 3 tablespoons of the sauce and place in a small bowl or measuring cup. Add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix well.
Add the slurry mixture back into the Instant Pot. (Do not add the cornstarch directly into the instant pot or it will be lumpy.) Stir well. Press, “Sauté” and allow the gravy to heat until thickened. Stir constantly. Pour over pork slices. Serve hot.
