Pressure Cooker Pork With Tarragon Gravy Food

PRESSURE COOKER PORK POT ROAST

Steps:

• Cut the pork shoulder roast in half, then sprinkle with 1 ½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. (Use "Sauté" mode adjusted to high in an electric pressure cooker.) Sear the pork roast one piece at a time. Sear each piece on 2 sides - use the largest sides - until it is well browned, about 4 minutes a side. After searing, put the pork in a bowl and save for later.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pressure cooker pot, sprinkle with the thyme and coriander, and sauté, stirring and scraping the browned pork bits from the bottom of the pan. Sauté until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Pour in the hard cider, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 1 minute to boil off some of the alcohol.
• Add the pork into the pot, and pour in any juices in the bowl. Add the diced tomatoes, carrots, and sliced apple on top of the pork.
• Lock the pressure cooker lid and cook at high pressure for 50 minutes in an electric PC, or 45 minutes in a stovetop PC. Let the pressure come down naturally, about 20 more minutes.
• Gently move the pieces of pork to a carving board with tongs or a slotted spoon. (Or both - the pork is fall apart tender at this point.) Scoop the vegetables into a serving bowl with a slotted spoon. Pour the remaining liquid in the pot into a fat separator. Carve the roast, cutting it against the grain into ½" thick slices. Sprinkle some salt over the sliced roast, then pour a little of the defatted sauce over it. Serve, passing the rest of the sauce and the vegetables on the side.

PORK LOIN TARRAGON

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high in a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, such as a Dutch oven, big enough to hold your roast. Season roast with salt and pepper. Place top/fat-side down into the pan and allow to cook until golden. Flip over roast and allow to cook another few minutes. Add garlic cloves and shallots to the pan and stir around the pan a minute or so to soften (watch closely so they don't scorch).
• Add wine to pan and allow to boil for a minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low, placing the lid over-top slightly ajar, so that pot is not completely covered. Cook for 20 minutes, flip roast and stirring, making sure there is liquid in the pan that is at a gentle simmer. Continue cooking, flipping and checking every 20 minutes, for a total of about 1 1/2 hours, adding more wine if necessary if pan gets dry, or until the roast internal temperature reaches 135-140 degrees when tested with a thermometer. Remove roast to a cutting board and tend loosely with foil.
• To the pan, add chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon and tarragon. Bring to a simmer, stirring pan to loosen any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper. If necessary, thicken sauce by stirring together water and cornstarch and adding a bit at a time to the gravy until sauce thickens as much as you'd like.
• Keep sauce warm. Cut pork away from bone in one large piece and thinly slice to serve with gravy or alternately, cut down through the roast and bone into thicker chops and serve drizzled with sauce.

INSTANT POT PORK SHOULDER STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS, POTATOES AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Turn your Instant Pot to the saute "more" setting. While the pot is heating up trim your pork steaks of excess fat. Generously salt and pepper your pork steaks. When the pot reaches HOT on the display add in the oil and let it heat for a minute. Then arrange each of the pork steaks on the bottom of the pot so they are all in contact with the bottom of the pot (you may need to work in batches). Let the steaks brown for 5 minutes. Do not move the steaks or turn them over for the full 5 minutes. You'll be tempted to move them or mess around with them, but don't.
• While the meat is browning prepare your vegetables. Dice the onion, mince the garlic and peel the potatoes. Slice the potatoes into quarter inch rounds. Slice the mushrooms.
• When the 5 minutes is up remove the pork steaks and place them on a plate. I only browned one side of the steaks for sake of time but if you want you can brown both sides. Add the onion into the hot pot and saute for 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Pour the chicken broth in and deglaze the pot.
• Stir in the mushrooms, mustard, lemon juice and tarragon. Nestle the pork steaks into the pot.
• Place the potatoes in a oven safe dish that will fit inside your Instant Pot. You can use a pyrex,* corningware* or cake pan*. Salt and pepper the potatoes and toss. Cover the dish with foil. Gently lower the dish into the Instant Pot on top of the pork.
• Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button (high pressure) to 6 minutes. After the time is up allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minute. Then release any remaining pressure by moving the valve to venting.
• Carefully remove the dish of potatoes and set aside. Pour the half and half into the sauce. Turn the Instant Pot to the "saute" more setting. Stir 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2 Tbsp of cold water together in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the pot and let the sauce thicken. You may need to make more slurry and add it in, depending on how thick you want your sauce.
• Once sauce is thickened salt and pepper to taste. Serve sauce, mushrooms and pork over the top of the potatoes.

• Heat pressure cooker to browning (saute mode) setting. Heat oil and once hot, add pork roast chunks. You may need to brown them in batches to avoid over crowding. Brown for 5 minutes on both sides. If browning in batches, set the seared pieces aside on a plate and once done browning all the meat, transfer them back to the Instant Pot along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate.
• Add onion, apples, broth, juice, rosemary, sage, and bay leave. Close lid and set to high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 60 minutes. Allow to naturally release pressure once done cooking.
• Once you can remove the lid, carefully remove roast, set on plate, and loosely tent with aluminum foil.
• Strain out all the solids from the liquid by pressing through a fine mesh sieve. Discard solids and reserve the liquid for the gravy.
• Using your the Instant Pot on the saute setting, heat butter and flour in the empty hot pot and allow to cook until golden brown while stirring constantly, about 3-5 minutes. Whisk in the hot liquid to form the gravy and stir well until thoroughly mixed and thickened.

PRESSURE COOKER PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Prepare the pork loin by rubbing in the Italian Seasoning and crushed garlic. Heat the oil in the pressure cooker and put in a few of the onion pieces to flavor the oil leaving it just long enough to soften slightly, then remove it and set aside. Brown the roast on all sides and both ends. Remove to extra plate so that you can add 2/3rds of the chicken broth scraping the bottom of the pan to get up all the good bits; add the trivet and return the roast, fat side up. Add the onion. Pressure cook for 1 hour; remove from heat and let it the pressure come down on its own.
• Remove the roast and onions to a serving dish and tent with foil to rest for 15 minutes. In the meantime, mix the cold water and corn starch in a mixing cup or small bowl (I like to add a little pepper here). Remove the trivet from pot, add the rest of the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the water/corn starch mixture to the pot and remove from heat. This makes a wonderful gravy for the roast.

PRESSURE COOKER PORK WITH TARRAGON GRAVY

Steps:

• Liberally season chops with salt and pepper to your taste (I used our pepper mill for fresh ground pepper, and salt, quite liberally).
• Heat 1 Tbsp oil in fry pan at high heat.
• Quickly brown the chops/boneless pork loins on each side, just to sear in juices (I had to add a bit more oil near the end) and remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, add 1 Tbsp oil in pressure cooker and add chopped onions and saute until carmelized.
• Once carmelized add 1 cup water (more or less as you want to make more or less gravy, depending on amount of meat).
• Now you are ready to put the meat into pressure cooker.
• Spread the tarragon mustard on each side of the chops and place them in the pressure cooker.
• Cook at 15 psi for 30-40 minutes (we did 30 minutes, but 40 would make it that much softer).
• When done, remove meat, and you and add the flour into the pot over high head to thicken the gravy.
