1½ Tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds pork stew meat (buy it cubed or trim and cube your own pork butte or cubed pork shoulder)
1½ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons butter
1 onion chopped
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
½ teaspoon pepper
2 cups beef stock
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons ketchup
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 Tablespoons water

Preheat. Set your Instant Pot to the "Sauté" mode.
Season the pork. While the Instant Pot is heating, season the pork with salt and pepper.
Brown the pork. Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot and let it heat up for a few seconds before adding half of the beef. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer the pork to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining pork.
Sauté the veggies. Add the butter to the Instant Pot and, once it’s melted, add the onions and season with salt. Sauté until the onions have turned translucent. Add the mushrooms and pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until browned and tender.
Make the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the beef stock, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder.
Put it all together. Return the sautéed pork tips to the Instant Pot and pour in the sauce. Give everything a good stir to combine.
Cook. Close the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
Release. Once the cook time is up, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release its pressure for 20 minutes before opening.
Thicken. Set the pressure cooker to the sauté setting. Whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth and stir into the pork tips. Allow everything to cook for 2-3 minutes or until the gravy has thickened nicely.
Season. Taste and add a little extra salt and/or pepper if needed.
Serve. Serve pork tips and gravy over mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles.

Once you are done sauteing the veggies, make sure to use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits off the pan to avoid the burn notice.
All of the flavor comes from the brown bits in the bottom of the pan for the tasty gravy, so do not remove the bits from the pan before continuing.
