Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 pounds pork tenderloin

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup chicken stock

½ cup dry white wine

Directions

In a small mixing bowl add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper.

Place the pork tenderloin on a plate and season with the spice mixture.

Set the Instant Pot to the saute setting and add the olive oil.

When the oil is hot add the pork tenderloin and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. When done, remove from the Instant Pot and place on a plate.

Pour chicken stock and white wine into the Instant Pot and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot.

Turn the heat off, add the trivet or rack to the Instant Pot. Place the browned pork tenderloin on the trivet. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the pressure to high and cook for 5 minutes.

After the timer has beeped let the pork natural release for 10 minutes and then manually release the remaining pressure.

Check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin to make sure it’s fully cooked - 140°F to 145°F degrees. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

If desired, thicken the sauce per the notes below while the pork rests.

Notes

This recipe was tested in a 6qt Instant Pot only. Directions may vary with other sizes, consult your manual.

This recipe is for pork tenderloin, not for pork loin which will need longer to cook.

If your tenderloin is frozen, it can cook for about 12 minutes right from frozen (still allow for the 10 minute natural release).

Scraping the brown bits after browning is important so you don't get a burn notice.

If you'd like to thicken the sauce, combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Bring the sauce to a boil using the sautee setting and add the slurry a little bit at a time until the sauce reaches desired thickness
