Scale
- 2 ½ pound boneless pork loin roast (also called boneless center cut)
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ¼ Cup chicken broth
- 2 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce)
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine the brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Generously coat the pork loin with the seasoning mixture.
- Turn the instant pot to saute mode and add the oil.
- Add the pork loin and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the pork and set it aside.
- Add the chicken broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot.
- Turn off the instant pot.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce to the chicken broth, then place the trivet in the instant pot. Add the pork loin on top of the trivet.
- Place the lid on the instant pot and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on manual high pressure for 18 minutes. Once the cooking time has elapsed, naturally release the pressure for 20 minutes then release any remaining pressure. Once you open the lid, check that the internal temperature is at least 145 F.
- Remove the meat from the pot and set it aside to rest for 15 minutes.
- Turn the instant pot to saute mode. Make a slurry of the cornstarch and water. Once the cooking liquid has come to a simmer, whisk the slurry into the cooking sauce. Cook while stirring until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Slice the pork loin and top with the sauce.
