Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
