• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method for 10 minutes according to manufacturer's instructions. Quick-release any remaining pressure. Unlock and remove the lid. Lift out tenderloin and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove 1/4 cup of the liquid from the pot and mix with cornstarch to make a slurry. Pour slurry back into the pot. Select Saute function and simmer sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes. Slice pork and drizzle sauce on top.

BEST DAMN INSTANT POT PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Let pork tenderloin stay in package out of fridge for 15-20 minutes. Remove tenderloin from package and rinse and pat dry. Trim any visible fat. Cut tenderloin into 2 pieces of equal length.
• Coat each piece with about 1 teaspoon each of olive oil. In a small dish, combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Apply the rub liberally onto meat.
• Set Instant Pot to Saute mode. When hot, add meat and brown each side for a couple of minutes each. When all sides are browned, press Cancel and remove meat to a plate. Add the chicken stock to the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape all the bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke to the chicken broth.
• Place meat directly into the liquid, secure lid, set the vent to "sealing". Pressure cook (manual) on high pressure for 3 minutes. When cycle is complete, allow pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes. Remove meat to a plate and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing into pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
• After removing meat, press Cancel, then press Saute. Scoop out 3 tablespoons of the liquid to a separate cup and add 2 tablespoons of corn starch. Mix well until corn starch is dissolved. Slowly pour mixture back into the liquid in the pot. Once it starts to boil, press cancel. Mix well and sauce will thicken into a delicious gravy.

INSTANT POT PORK LOIN WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Stir to combine the brown sugar, dill, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork loin.
• Set a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® to medium saute (see Cook's Note) and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork loin and brown all over, turning with tongs, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate. Add the onions and carrots and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, thyme and sage. Stir to coat the vegetables in the tomato paste. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and return to a simmer. Tuck the bay leaf into the sauce and nestle the pork loin in the middle (it will not be covered by liquid).
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Remove the pork to a cutting board.
• Return the sauce to a simmer on the medium saute setting. Mash the butter and flour into a paste with a fork in a small bowl. Whisk into the simmering sauce and cook, whisking, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Discard the bay leaf and stir in the parsley. Thinly slice the pork and serve with the sauce.

INSTANT POT PORK LOIN (WITH EASY PORK GRAVY)

Steps:

• Heat your Instant Pot using the 'SAUTE' function. Add the olive oil and heat until it shimmers.
• Pat your pork loin dry, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the seasoned pork loin into the heated Instant Pot and sear the first side for 4 minutes, then flip and sear the reverse side for an additional 4 minutes.
• Use tongs to hold the pork loin upright/on end so that you can sear both ends for 2 minutes each. Remove the seared pork loin and set aside on a plate.
• Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spatula to scrape the fried bits from the bottom of your Instant Pot.
• Place the Instant Pot trivet into the broth so that it is upside down then place the pork loin on top. Seal securely and set the vent to 'SEALING'. Set to "MANUAL COOK' for 8 minutes and start the heating cycle.
• When the 8 minute cooking cycle has completed, make sure that your Instant Pot is on 'KEEP WARM' during the natural pressure release (NPR) cycle. Allow the Instant Pot to NPR for 30 minutes for pork loin that is 2 inches thick, or 40 minutes for a pork loin that is 2 1/2 inches thick.
• Once the time has elapsed, carefully finish venting the Instant Pot and remove the pork loin. Set it aside, tent loosely with a square of aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
