Instant Pot Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious pork chop adventure, set your Instant Pot to the 'Saute' function and let it heat up.

2. Step 2

   Once it's nice and hot, drizzle in some vegetable oil.

3. Step 3

   While the oil warms, season both sides of your pork chops generously with salt, granulated garlic, and black pepper.

4. Step 4

   When the oil is shimmering, carefully place the pork chops in the pot and sear them for about 2 to 4 minutes on each side until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color.

5. Step 5

   This step not only locks in flavor but also gives your dish that appetizing look.

6. Step 6

   Next, pour in a delightful mix of soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, honey, coconut sugar, minced ginger, and minced garlic.

7. Step 7

   Give everything a good stir to combine those wonderful flavors, then cancel the 'Saute' function.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to seal in the goodness! Close and lock the lid of your Instant Pot, select 'High Pressure,' and set the timer for 8 minutes.

9. Step 9

   As the pot builds pressure, take a moment to savor the aroma wafting through your kitchen.

10. Step 10

    Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for about 15 minutes.

11. Step 11

    After that, carefully use the quick-release method to let out any remaining steam, then unlock and remove the lid.

12. Step 12

    While the pork chops are resting, grab a small bowl and pour in 1/3 cup of the pineapple juice from the can.

13. Step 13

    Mix in some cornstarch to create a smooth slurry that will thicken your sauce.

14. Step 14

    Now, gently remove the pork chops from the pot and cover them to keep warm.

15. Step 15

    Turn the Instant Pot back to the 'Saute' function and stir the slurry into the remaining liquid in the pot.

16. Step 16

    Cook this mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens up nicely, which should take about 3 minutes.

17. Step 17

    For a sweet touch, add one pineapple ring to the sauce for each pork chop.

18. Step 18

    Finally, it’s time to serve! Place each pork chop on a plate, top it with a luscious pineapple slice, and drizzle generously with the teriyaki sauce.
