How To Make Pork Loin in Instant Pot

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.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• Prep and Rest the Pork: Before you start cooking, take the pork loin out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows the meat to sear more evenly and develop a better crust.
• Sear for Flavor: Turn the Instant Pot to the “Sauté” mode and heat the canola oil. Once it’s hot, carefully add the pork loin. Sear it for 3-4 minutes on each side to create a flavorful exterior. After searing, transfer the pork loin to a plate and set it aside.
• Deglazing for Flavor: To enhance the depth of flavor, pour the chicken broth into the hot Instant Pot, scraping the browned bits from the bottom. These caramelized bits are packed with taste and will infuse your dish with richness.
• Layering for Even Cooking: Arrange the diced red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peeled carrots in the Instant Pot. This layering helps the vegetables cook uniformly and soak up the delicious flavors from the broth and pork.
• Proper Placement: Place the seared pork loin on top of the layered vegetables. This allows the pork juices to blend with the vegetables, resulting in a harmonious dish.
• Sealing and Pressure Cooking: Secure the Instant Pot lid in the sealing position. Cook the pork and vegetables at high pressure for 9 minutes. Pressure cooking not only saves time but also makes the meat tender and flavorful.
• Quick Release and Temperature Check: When the cooking time is up, perform a quick pressure release. To ensure your pork is safe to eat, check its internal temperature using a meat thermometer. It should register at least 145°F. Allow the pork loin to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain its juices and tenderness.
