Instructions

1

Sear the Tenderloin

Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season with salt and pepper. Set the Instant Pot to Saute mode, add oil, and sear the tenderloin for 2 minutes per side on all sides until golden brown.

2

Make the Sauce and Pressure Cook

Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and chicken broth in a bowl. Pour the sauce over the seared tenderloin in the pot. Secure the lid and cook on High Pressure for 7 minutes, then do a natural release for 5 minutes.

3

Rest the Pork

Remove the pork tenderloin from the pot and tent it loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.

4

Thicken the Glaze

Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to make a slurry. Switch the Instant Pot to Saute mode and whisk the slurry into the cooking liquid. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the glaze is thick and glossy. Pour over the sliced pork and serve.

Substitutions

honeymaple syrup for a slightly different but equally delicious sweetness
soy saucecoconut aminos for a gluten-free and lower sodium alternative

Common mistakes

Cutting into the pork immediately after pressure cooking without resting causes all the juices to run out
Skipping the searing step means missing the caramelized crust that adds significant flavor to the final dish
