Fall has arrived and that means roasts, soups, stews, and other fall flavors! I love a roast but typically only would make them on Sunday’s when I had the time. Weeknight dinners need to be quick and that’s where the Instant Pot comes in! This Instant Pot Pork Loin recipe is easy, healthy, and delicious! Simple ingredients and not a lot of prep work means this pork loin recipe is one of my go to dinners!
I get all of my meat from Butcher Box Meat Delivery Box service and I absolutely LOVE it!

Instant Pot Pork Loin Roast
Pork Loin is not the same as Pork Tenderloin. The loin is a thicker cut with more fat on top (called a fat cap). Pork tenderloin is a much thinner and leaner cut and tends to dry out more quickly. Both are good sources of lean protein.The times in this recipe are specifically for Instant Pot Pork Loin, not for Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin!
NOTE: **Cook a 1 1/2 to 2 lb pork tenderloin for 3 minutes in an Instant Pot, with a 10 minute natural release.
What I love about the Instant Pot, besides how quickly you can cook just about everything, is that it is one pot cooking. You can brown the meat, pressure cook, and then use the sauté function again at the end to make a quick and easy sauce. Serve it with a vegetable or salad and dinner is served!
