This instant pot pork tenderloin recipe will have dinner on the table in 45 minutes.
If you haven't grabbed an instant pot yet, now is the time to be sure it's on your Christmas list! The instant pot can do so many things, you'll wonder what took you so long to get one! From making hard boiled eggs in minutes, macaroni and cheese in 4 minutes to cooking a whole chicken in under an hour, the instant pot is the way to go!
I recently tried my favorite marinated pork tenderloin recipe in the instant pot and naturally, I wasn't disappointed. Plus, I find the instant pot is perfect for those days I don't plan ahead, or don't want to turn on the oven.
I think this pot would be amazing for camping or taking somewhere you want to make a hot meal, like an outdoor picnic! As long as you have electricity, you'll a-okay!
Pork tenderloin is a meat I sometimes forget about until it's on sale. Once I grab a package, I pull together my favorite marinade and am reminded of how amazing this recipe is. Pork tenderloin pretty much pairs well with almost any side dish.
I like to go with a spinach salad and rolls or a simple side dish like steamed vegetables. The flavor of this instant pot pork tenderloin is a bit sweet and really brings out the pork flavor.

The instant pot calls for at least 1 cup of liquid, this recipe doesn’t have enough. Is there something missing?
Kari
You are correct, the Instant Pot manual recommends at least 1 cup of liquid be in the pot for cooking, but I've never had an issue with this recipe. If you are worried, I'd add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of a chicken or beef broth. You could probably use water but the broth will give it more flavor. Hope this helps!
Morgan
If you pour the leftover marinade in the pot like it calls for, you have enough liquid
Kari
You're right! Good thinking! That's plenty of liquid!

I made this tonight for dinner. It’s so easy and so good! Pork was not dry and had a great flavor! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
Kari
I'm so happy it turned out and tasted great! Thanks for sharing! You made my day!

If you cook on Manual, High pressure for 30 minutes to do natural release for 10 minutes as well or quick pressure release? Thanks and looking forward to making this!
Kari
Yes, you are correct! You will let it naturally release it for 10 minutes. Then I put a folded kitchen towel on top of the pressure release valve and open it. I leave the towel on until all the steam has escaped. Let me know how it turns out!
Jerry
Thanks for the recipe Kari. I found that when I'm done naturally releasing, I unplug Instant pot and set it on the stove and turn on hood fan.
Kari
That is a great idea!

Can you marinate this and then freeze it?? If so do you just let it thaw overnight then cook it like normal??
Megan
That should work, just make sure you have enough liquid as per the Instant Pot directions.
