Instant Pot Pork Loin (with Easy Pork Gravy)

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon olive oil

  (extra virgin)
• 4 lb boneless pork loin roast
• ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper

  (to taste)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water

  (cold)

Instructions

• 1 Heat your Instant Pot using the 'SAUTE' function. Add the olive oil and heat
  until it shimmers.
• 2 Pat your pork loin dry, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the
  seasoned pork loin into the heated Instant Pot and sear the first side for 4
  minutes, then flip and sear the reverse side for an additional 4 minutes.
• 3 Use tongs to hold the pork loin upright/on end so that you can sear both ends
  for 2 minutes each. Remove the seared pork loin and set aside on a plate.
• 4 Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spatula to scrape the fried bits from
  the bottom of your Instant Pot.
• 5 Place the Instant Pot trivet into the broth so that it is upside down then place
  the pork loin on top. Seal securely and set the vent to 'SEALING'. Set to
  "MANUAL COOK' for 8 minutes and start the heating cycle.
• 6 When the 8 minute cooking cycle has completed, make sure that your Instant Pot
  is on 'KEEP WARM' during the natural pressure release (NPR) cycle. Allow the
  Instant Pot to NPR for 30 minutes for pork loin that is 2 inches thick, or 40
  minutes for a pork loin that is 2 ½ inches thick.
• 7 Once the time has elapsed, carefully finish venting the Instant Pot and remove
  the pork loin. Set it aside, tent loosely with a square of aluminum foil, and
  allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
• 8 To make your gravy, combine the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry. Heat
  your Instant Pot on the 'SAUTE' function until it reaches a low simmer.
• 9 Whisk the slurry into the broth and pork juices in your Instant Pot until
  smooth. Bring to a low boil and then remove from heat. Adjust seasoning to taste
  and serve with your pork loin.
