INSTANT POT PORK CHOP

Steps:

• In the bottom of a pressure cooker pot add in the potatoes and stock.
• In a small bowl mix together the 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 1/2 tsp parsley, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/4 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp onion powder.
• Pat the chops dry and add them to a large plastic bag. Dump the spice rub over the chops, seal the bag and coat all sides of the chops with the seasoning.
• Take chops out of the bag and place on top of the potatoes. If there is extra seasoning in the bag, dump that in the pot too.
• Place the lid on, set the pressure to high and cook for 12 minutes. When the 12 minutes are up, do a natural release.
• Once pressure has released, take the chops out of the pot and place on a plate loosely tenting with foil.
• Remove the potatoes from the pot and place in a large bowl. Gently mash and add in the butter and milk. Adjust for taste.
• Set the pressure cooker to saute to make the gravy. In a small bowl whisk together the flour and milk to a slurry. Once the mixture starts to bubble whisk in the flour mixture. Cook until thick and bubbly.
• Add in the salt and pepper for taste.
• Plate the pork with the mashed potatoes and gravy.

SWEET AND SPICY ASIAN PORK TENDERLOIN IN THE INSTANT POT®

Steps:

• Turn on an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and allow to preheat.
• Combine paprika, salt, ground ginger, and white pepper in a small bowl. Rub tenderloins on all sides with the mixture.
• Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a separate bowl; you should have 2 cups, the recommended amount of cooking liquid in an 8-quart pot. Check your owner's manual for recommended liquid amount for other sizes and adjust accordingly.
• Pour avocado oil into the Instant Pot® and heat until shimmering. Add tenderloins to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove tenderloins to a plate, add liquid mixture to the pot, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, stirring all together. Turn off Saute function.
• Place a rack or trivet into the Instant Pot® and place tenderloins on the rack. Close and lock the lid and set vent to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Let pork cook until internal temperature reaches 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C). Place tenderloins on a cutting board and cover with foil to rest while you make the glaze. Internal temperature should rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove about 3 tablespoons of cooking liquid and set aside.
• Select Saute function and bring remaining cooking liquid in the pot to a boil. Allow to reduce to about 1 cup, 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how much liquid was used for the size of the pot. Add preserves, sambal oelek, grated ginger, garlic, and sesame oil; cook for about 2 minutes.
• Create a slurry of the reserved 3 tablespoons cooking liquid and cornstarch in a small bowl. Continue cooking on the Saute function and add the slurry, stirring constantly until the liquid comes to a boil and thickens slightly. Pour glaze carefully into a container.
• Slice the pork, drizzle with glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro. Serve warm with additional glaze for dipping, if desired.
