Instant Pot® Pork Tenderloin Recipe – Super easy and very delicious! My entire family loved it. Super moist and flavorful pork tenderloin prepared in an Instant Pot® (one of the best instapot recipes). Easily the best pork tenderloin I have ever had! It is so tender you can cut it with a fork. I was skeptical of the apple juice, I was afraid it would be too sweet, but, happily I was wrong.
Ingredients :
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions :
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil until shimmering, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Season pork tenderloin with Greek seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add to the preheated pot and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Pour apple juice into the pot; scrape up any pork bits left on the bottom. Set rack inside the pot and place tenderloin on the rack.
- 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.
Cook’s Note:
Substitute chicken stock or root beer for the apple juice if preferred.
