Cooking Pork Loin

Remove pork loin from the refrigerator and let sit for 30 minutes. Allowing the meat to sit at room temperature makes it easier to sear.

Turn the instant pot to sauté

Heat high-heat oil in the instant pot. High heat oils have high smoke points (400 degrees F and higher) and include avocado oil, almond oil, corn oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, and sunflower oil.

Pro Tip: In this case, olive oil has too low of a smoke point and should not be used when searing meat.

Once the oil is glistening in the pan, swirl it around, lightly covering the bottom of the pan. Place the Smithfield Garlic & Herb Loin Filet into the instant pot and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side. Don’t poke or prod the meat. Remove the pork loin from the instant pot and set it aside.

Deglaze the instant pot and add the vegetables

Add the chicken broth to the hot instant pot, scraping the bits off the bottom. Layer in the potatoes and carrots.

Place the pork loin on top then cook

Place the pork onto the vegetables then place the lid onto the instant pot. Turn to sealing. Cook at high pressure for 9 minutes.

Quick-release and rest

Once the time is up do a quick release then take the internal temperature to make sure it hits 145°F. Let the tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Kitchen Tip: Make sure to use a properly calibrated meat thermometer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long to cook pork loin in instant pot?

Cook a 2lb pork loin on high pressure for 9 minutes then test the internal temperature before cooking any longer. Overcooking the pork will result in a tough and chewy tenderloin. If cooking a larger pork loin, adjust the cooking time by adding 5 minutes per pound.
