Instant Pot® Pork Loin in Cranberry-Dijon Sauce image

Cranberry sauce, Dijon mustard, tarragon, and onion combine to make a flavorful and easy pork loin. Serve with sweet potatoes and veggies. This recipe makes enough sauce for 2 pork loins in case you have additional meat; I just love lots of sauce.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless pork loin roast
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 (14 ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
½ yellow onion, sliced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

Pat pork loin dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and let melt. Add pork loin and cook on all sides until just a little bit of color shows, about 1 minute per side. Turn off Saute function and add cranberry sauce, sliced onion, Dijon mustard, tarragon, and dry onion mix. Gently combine and spoon some of the sauce over the pork loin.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturers' instructions; set timer for 9 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Check internal temperature of the pork loin; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Temperature will continue to rise slightly after the pork loin is removed from pot.
Place on a cutting board to allow to rest for 8 to 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices.
While pork loin is resting, select Saute function again and stir cornstarch into sauce. Whisk until sauce thickens, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve pork loin with cranberry-Dijon sauce.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons dried dill
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 2-pound boneless pork loin
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium onions, halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 dried bay leaf
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Stir to combine the brown sugar, dill, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork loin.
Set a 6- or 8-quart Instant Pot® to medium saute (see Cook's Note) and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork loin and brown all over, turning with tongs, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate. Add the onions and carrots and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, thyme and sage. Stir to coat the vegetables in the tomato paste. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and return to a simmer. Tuck the bay leaf into the sauce and nestle the pork loin in the middle (it will not be covered by liquid).
Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.
After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Remove the pork to a cutting board.
Return the sauce to a simmer on the medium saute setting. Mash the butter and flour into a paste with a fork in a small bowl. Whisk into the simmering sauce and cook, whisking, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Discard the bay leaf and stir in the parsley. Thinly slice the pork and serve with the sauce.

INSTANT POT PORK LOIN

Instant Pot Pork Loin image

This is so savory! I usually make this in my slow cooker, but forgot to start it this morning because I was making homemade puff pastry dough. So I adapted my slow cooker recipe for my pressure cooker! Same fantastic results! The gravy it makes is thin, but if you like a thicker gravy you could always do a cornstarch slurry technique to thicken it up!

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4-6 pound(s) boneless pork loin
3 can(s) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup(s) beef broth
3 tablespoon(s) kitchen bouquet
salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, to taste
1 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil

Steps:

Trim as much fat from loin as possible. Rub with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In the instant pot insert, add oil. Turn on to sear. After 3 or 4 minutes of heating add loin. Let sear for at least 5 minutes on each side.
Remove to a plate and set aside. In the insert, while still on sear, carefully add the soup, broth, and Kitchen Bouquet, whisk carefully to combine.
Return pork loin to insert, and spoon some of the soup mixture over the top of loin. Turn off instant pot.
Place lid on and make sure release valve is closed. Turn on high pressure for 70 minutes. Allow to slow release for at least 20 minutes.
Do a quick release for any remaining pressure. Remove lid, carefully pull apart meat into chunks. I do this with heavy duty type tongs. Saturate pieces in the sauce.
Serve! We love this with mashed potatoes and fresh warm bread!
