Description
A simple recipe for cooking tender pork tenderloin quickly using an electric pressure cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
- Rub the pork with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and add the seasoned pork. Brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove the pork and set aside. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Place the trivet in the Instant Pot, if you have one, and place the pork on top.
- Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing.
- Cook on High Pressure for 8 minutes.
- When cooking finishes, allow a Natural Pressure Release for 5 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Remove the pork and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- You can use fresh rosemary instead of thyme for a different flavor.
- If you do not have an Instant Pot, you can sear the pork in a skillet and then roast it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
