Ingredients

Instructions

  • Drizzle both sides of the pork loin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper to taste onto both sides of the pork. You can marinate the pork loin for 2 hours to overnight, if preferred. Marinating is optional.
  • Turn the Instant Pot on the saute function. When the pot is hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and garlic.
  • Add the pork loin to the Instant Pot. Sear each side of the pork loin for 1-2 minutes. Cancel the saute function on the pot.
  • Remove the pork loin. Deglaze the pot by adding the broth and use a silicone spoon to scoop up all of the brown bits in the bottom of the pot. These are loaded in flavor.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and brown sweetener. Add the pork back to the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Close the pot and seal. Cook for 12 minutes on Manual > High-Pressure Cooking.
  • When the pot indicates it has finished, allow the steam to release naturally for 10 minutes.
  • Open the pot and remove the pork loin. Allow the pork loin to rest for another 10 minutes before slicing.

Balsamic Glaze Gravy

  • When you remove the pork loin from the pot, there will be a lot of glaze remaining in the pot. If you wish to thicken the glaze, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of cornstarch (1 teaspoon of Xanthan gum for keto) to a small bowl with 3 teaspoons of glaze from the pot. Stir to combine and add the mixture back to the pot.
  • Place the Instant Pot on the saute function. Stir the pot. After 3-4 minutes cancel the saute function. The glaze will thicken as it stands.

Notes

I leave the fat on the back of the pork loin. It will add flavor and texture to the meat as it cooks.
I freeze cooked pork loin in sealable freezer bags, labeled with the date. You can freeze it for 4-6 months.
