Instant Pot Dijon Pork Chops Dinner

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Dijon Pork Chops Dinner.

1. Step 1

   Start by creating a flavorful spice blend in a small bowl.

2. Step 2

   Combine salt, black pepper, and dried thyme, then rub this aromatic mixture generously over both sides of your pork chops, pressing it in to ensure the flavors really stick.

3. Step 3

   Next, fire up your Instant Pot by selecting the 'Sauté' function.

4. Step 4

   Once it’s nice and hot, drizzle in some olive oil and add the seasoned pork chops.

5. Step 5

   Sear them for about three minutes on each side until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.

6. Step 6

   Once browned, carefully remove the chops from the pot and set them aside for now.

7. Step 7

   Now, let’s build that delicious sauce! Pour in some dry white wine and chicken stock, stirring to deglaze the pot.

8. Step 8

   This means scraping up all those tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom—trust me, they add incredible flavor.

9. Step 9

   Allow the mixture to simmer for about three minutes, letting the alcohol cook off and the liquid reduce slightly.

10. Step 10

    When that’s done, turn off the 'Sauté' function.

11. Step 11

    It’s time to bring the pork chops back into the mix.

12. Step 12

    Place them in the pot, then close and lock the lid, making sure the pressure valve is set to sealing.

13. Step 13

    Select 'Manual' high pressure and set the timer for five minutes.

14. Step 14

    Keep in mind, it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before cooking begins.

15. Step 15

    Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes.

16. Step 16

    After that, carefully switch to quick release for any remaining pressure.

17. Step 17

    When it’s safe, unlock and remove the lid, transferring the pork chops to a plate.

18. Step 18

    Cover them with foil to keep them warm while we finish the sauce.

19. Step 19

    Turn the 'Sauté' function back on and let the remaining liquid simmer for about a minute to reduce.

20. Step 20

    Stir in some Dijon mustard and garlic powder for an extra kick of flavor.

21. Step 21

    Gradually add in butter, stirring until it’s fully melted and incorporated, which should take about three minutes.

22. Step 22

    Finally, return the pork chops to the pot, coating them in that luscious sauce.

23. Step 23

    Before serving, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.
