Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • small bowl

Ingredients

  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (cut in half if using pure maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme crumbled
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon cold water

Instructions

  • Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Season pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Place in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • In a small bowl, combine syrup, garlic, mustard, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, and thyme. Pour over the pork.
  • Put your lid on the pot and move the valve to SEALING (not venting). Press the PRESSURE COOK (or MANUAL) button and set timer for 5 minutes.
  • When timer is done, let pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (it will take about 20 minutes, maybe longer).
  • We prefer to let the meat sit in the Instant Pot on the "keep warm" setting for a couple of hours and it will literally fall apart, but make sure that you at least let it do a natural release for 20 minutes when it's done cooking.
  • Remove pork to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Press SAUTE button and bring liquid in the Instant Pot to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and cold water, then whisk into liquid left in Instant Pot. Cook for 1 minute longer or until liquid has thickened up. Slice the pork and serve with the thickened juices.

Notes

  • We like to serve this with mashed potatoes!
