Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot® Greek-Seasoned Pork Tenderloin.
Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot® to the 'Saute' function and drizzle in some olive oil.
Step 2
Heat it until it shimmers, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
While the oil is warming up, season your pork tenderloin generously with Greek seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Once the oil is ready, add the seasoned pork to the pot and let it brown for about 3 minutes on each side.
Step 5
This step is crucial as it locks in those delicious flavors.
Step 6
After browning, carefully transfer the pork to a plate and set it aside.
Step 7
Next, pour in the apple juice, making sure to scrape up any tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot—this will really enhance the flavor of your dish.
Step 8
Now, place a rack inside the pot and set the pork tenderloin on top of it.
Step 9
Close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot®, select 'High Pressure,' and set the timer for 10 minutes.
Step 10
Don’t forget to allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the cooking begins.
Step 11
Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
Step 12
Carefully unlock and remove the lid, and with a gentle touch, lift the tenderloin out of the pot.
Step 13
Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing—this helps keep it juicy and tender.
Step 14
While the pork is resting, take 1/4 cup of the flavorful cooking liquid from the pot and mix it with cornstarch to create a smooth slurry.
Step 15
Pour this back into the pot, select the 'Saute' function again, and simmer the sauce until it thickens, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 16
Finally, serve your beautifully sliced pork drizzled with that rich, thickened sauce.
Step 17
Enjoy the delightful flavors and the satisfaction of a meal made with love!.
