Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pressure Cooker Pork Chops with Baked Potatoes and Carrots.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.
Step 2
Generously season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring they’re well-coated for maximum flavor.
Step 3
In your pressure cooker, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the butter is sizzling, add the pork chops in batches, cooking them until they’re beautifully browned—this should take about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Step 5
Once they’re golden, transfer the pork chops to a plate and set them aside.
Step 6
Next, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pressure cooker.
Step 7
Toss in the chopped onion and baby carrots, sautéing them in the hot butter until they become fragrant, which should take around 2 minutes.
Step 8
This step adds a wonderful aroma to your dish! Now, pour in the vegetable broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine all those delicious flavors.
Step 9
Return the browned pork chops to the pressure cooker, placing them right on top of the onion and carrot mixture.
Step 10
For an extra touch, set a steamer basket on top of the pork chops and fill it with russet potatoes.
Step 11
This will allow the potatoes to cook perfectly while soaking up all the savory goodness below.
Step 12
Close and lock the lid of your pressure cooker.
Step 13
Follow your manufacturer’s instructions to select the high-pressure setting and set the timer for 13 minutes.
Step 14
Don’t forget to allow about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build before the cooking begins—this is when the magic happens! Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 10 to 40 minutes.
Step 15
This gentle release helps keep your pork chops tender and juicy.
Step 16
When it’s safe to do so, carefully unlock and remove the lid, revealing a feast of flavors.
Step 17
Slice the baked potatoes along the tops, fluffing them up a bit, and serve them alongside the succulent pork chops and vibrant carrots.
Step 18
Enjoy this hearty meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
