Cooking a pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot with mushroom and onion gravy is a delicious and time-saving option. Here are some helpful tips to ensure your dish turns out perfectly:
​
-
Sear the pork: Before cooking in the Instant Pot, quickly sear the pork tenderloin on all sides in a hot skillet with a little oil. This step adds extra flavor and locks in the juices.
-
Add onions and mushrooms: Layer sliced onions and mushrooms at the bottom of the Instant Pot before placing the seared pork tenderloin on top. This will infuse the meat with extra flavors and moisture.
-
Season well: Rub the pork tenderloin with a mix of your favorite herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, to add depth and aroma.
-
Set the cooking time: Pork tenderloin cooks relatively quickly in the Instant Pot. Set the pressure cooking time to around 5-8 minutes per pound of meat, depending on the thickness of the tenderloin.
-
Natural release: Allow the Instant Pot to do a natural pressure release for about 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure. This helps the pork to remain tender and moist.
-
Make the gravy: While the pork is resting, turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and thicken the cooking liquid with a cornstarch slurry to create a luscious mushroom and onion gravy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
-
Slice and serve: Once the pork tenderloin has rested for a few minutes, slice it into medallions, and serve it drizzled with the savory mushroom and onion gravy. Consider pairing it with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
​
With these tips, your pork tenderloin with mushroom and onion gravy will be a delightful and flavorful dish that your family and guests will love. Enjoy!
