Instant Pot Pork Roast
Instant Pot pork roast is such a winning meal. This meat, potatoes and veggies all-in-one dish is made with juicy pork loin and aromatic herbs for a perfect result.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 Pounds boneless pork loin
- 1 Teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ Teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ Teaspoon dried dill
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon onion soup mix
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 3 Cloves garlic minced
- 1 shallot chopped
- 1 Cup chicken stock
- ½ Cup butter
- 2 Tablespoon pickle juice
- 4 carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 Stalks celery diced
- 1 Pounds potatoes fingerling
Instructions
- Combine thyme, oregano, dill, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion soup mix in a bowl. Season the pork on all sides. Press the seasoning into the pork.
- Set the instant pot to sauté. Add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pot. Sear the pork for 4 minutes, flip, and sear the other side for 4 minutes. Searing will seal in moisture and flavor while giving the meat a delicious crust and color. In a pinch, you may skip this step, although I strongly recommend taking the extra time to do this.
- Remove pork and set aside. Add a splash of olive oil, then add the onion, shallot, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes
- Deglaze the pan with chicken stock. Scrape the bottom of the instant pot to be sure nothing sticks and burns.
- Place the pork back in the instant pot on top of the onions. Pour in the pickle juice and butter.
- Seal and set to manual high pressure for 45 minutes. Allow natural release for 5 minutes, then quick release any remaining steam.
- Remove pork and shred or slice it.
- Add carrots, celery, and potatoes to the instant pot and place pork on top. Add ½ cup stock and set to manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Release the pressure and serve.
Notes
Thaw frozen pork first: If using frozen pork, thaw it first so it doesn't add excess water to the dish.
Cooking time: Pressure cooker pork recipes vary but most will have a cooking time for the pork for anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour. And it depends on the size of your boneless pork roast.
Shredding the pork: Since this easy Instant Pot dinner calls for shredded pork roast, just cook it until it’s easy to shred with a pair of forks. That way, you know it’s tender. You don’t have to completely shred it, like you would for pork sandwiches. Cutting it into medium thick slices is also fine. That’s faster too.
