Why This Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin Is So Good
This pork tenderloin is so full of flavor that you might think you aren’t actually eating pork.

Even the leftovers were really good!

Why You Should Cook Your Pork Tenderloin in the Instant Pot
Do you love pork and want to cook it in a way that it has the the best possible taste?
The pork tenderloin is one of the most popular cuts to cook in an Instant Pot since it’s high in protein and low in fat which means it’s quite lean.
When cooked in an Instant Pot, the pork tenderloin will be juicy, succulent, and full of flavor unlike when it is cooked using other methods.
It will also be the star dish on your family dinner table!
Here is my recipe.

Final Thoughts On This Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin Recipe
When I went to make this recipe, the pork loin was not completely thawed, so I did cook it slightly longer than I did my other Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin recipe.
The result was a pork tenderloin that I thought had more flavor and was a lot more tender than my original recipe.
Of course I did use different spices and a jar of pre-made gravy instead of chicken broth.
The one thing I loved the most about this recipe was that the pork tenderloin didn’t taste like pork, which I feel is a drier, bland meat in comparison to beef.
This Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin was very juicy.
