Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon canola or avocado oil
  • 2 to 3 pound pork sirloin roast
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 cup water see note
  • 1 tablespoon basalmic vinegar

For the Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water

For Serving:

  • fresh thyme sprigs optional, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in cast iron pan over medium heat. Pat pork roast dry with paper towels and set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic with mustard, salt, pepper and chopped fresh thyme. Rub mixture over pork and sear pork in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until browned.

  3. Add browned pork to the Instant Pot bowl along with water (or low sodium chicken bone broth) and balsamic vinegar.

  4. Lock lid in place and cook on HIGH pressure for the time below:

    19 minutes for a 2 pound roast

    22 minutes for a 2-1/2 pound roast

    25 minutes for a 3 pound roast

  5. After time is up, let pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes before turning the valve for a quick pressure release.

  6. Remove pork to a serving dish (leaving the juices) and tent with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes while you prepare the gravy.

For the Gravy:

  1. Strain the liquid left in the pressure cooker through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the solids and reserving the liquid. Return liquid to Instant Pot.

  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup water and whisk until smooth.

  3. Add cornstarch mixture to hot liquid and use sauté function on Instant Pot to heat until thickened.

For Serving:

  1. Slice the pork into thin slices and serve with gravy on top. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.

Recipe Notes

I have also made this recipe with low sodium chicken bone broth and it is delicious. Low sodium chicken broth may also work, but I think regular chicken broth will be too salty.
