This Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin recipe makes juicy, tender meat that is perfectly seasoned. Plus gravy right in the pot! You’ll love how easy it is to cook flavorful pork tenderloin in the pressure cooker.
Prep pressure cooker by pouring in a cup of water.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika onto both sides of pork. Note you’ll be over-seasoning the meat, since some of the seasonings end up in the water. Rub seasonings onto pork.
Add pork to pressure cooker, right in the water.
Close lid and seal the valve. Press pressure cook button and set to 10 minutes on high pressure.
When time is up, carefully quick release the steam. Once pin drops, open the lid. You can remove the tenderloin with tongs and place on a serving platter or plate.
Next press “cancel” on the pressure cooker. Add corn starch to the seasoned water in the pot.
Then press the sauté button. As soon as the liquid starts bubbling, whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes or until you reach your desired consistency.
Press “cancel” again and pour gravy out into bowl or gravy boat. You can spoon over pork tenderloin or serve alongside.
