Mouthwatering, tender pork tenderloin seasoned with garlic and herbs, cooked to perfection in your Instant Pot. Served with an awesome creamy gravy.
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin (3/4lb – 1 1/4 lb)
- 1.5 tbs Italian seasoning blend
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp course salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbs corn starch
- 1 tbs cold water
- 2 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Let pork tenderloin stay in package out of fridge for 15-20 minutes. Remove tenderloin from package and trim any visible fat. Cut tenderloin in half crosswise, creating two shorter pieces.
- Coat each piece with about 1 teaspoon each of olive oil. In a small dish, combine all dry ingredients and minced garlic and 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 broth to the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape all the bits from the bottom of the pot (important!).
- 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 10 minutes. Remove meat to a plate and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing into pieces about 1/4 inch thick.
- To make gravy: After removing meat, press Cancel, then press Saute. Slowly pour in 1/4 cup heavy cream and stir. In a seperate cup, mix 1 tbs water with 1 tbs cornstarch, creating a slurry. Slowly pour cornstarch slurry into the gravy. Mix well and let simmer for about 3-5 minutes to thicken. Press cancel. Gravy will continue to thicken.
