    Most of you know I am a huge fan of pork. Pork Tenderloin is a favorite because I relate it to my Granny Annie! Why, as a child, my Granny always made me great food! Pork tenderloin was one of her specialties. You should give my Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, they are an old family favorite that will blow you away with flavor.

    A hilarious beautiful little lady from Ireland! We would cook together and her stories, always so funny! If you love a great bread, go for my Granny's Irish Soda Bread. Not going to lie, I've won many a blue ribbon with this recipe.

    I have my Granny's pressure cooker. We don't use it but I have it for posterity!

    We use my Instant Pot to make this super flavorful pork tenderloin! Granny would love both my Instant Pot and my marinated pork!

    Pork tenderloin makes my brain immediately go to my Granny and comfort food! Not much better than great memories, great food, and the best times with family!

    The recipe I am sharing today, I used Smithfield Rotisserie Pork Tenderloin! I absolutely love the flavor of this pork. The first time I made this recipe I decided to not season the pork because the marinade looked awesome already!

    Smithfield® has pre-marinated these tenderloins and let me tell you, they a delicious! I did not need to add anything! I added fresh parsley because it's pretty and we love black pepper!

    What is the difference between pork tenderloin and a pork loin?

    They are two different cuts of pork. The pork tenderloin is thin and from off the backbone, usually around 1 -2 pounds. The pork loin is larger, around 4-5 pounds. The loin can also have a bone included.

    What temperature is pork tenderloin thoroughly cooked?

    A topic with many answers! I go by Smithfield® Pork 101  for my pork temperature guide. I cook my pork tenderloin to 160 degrees.

    Besides root veggies, what else can I serve with Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin:

    • asparagus - delicious quick and flavorful.
    • glazed carrots - another of my Granny's favorite veggies.
    • oven-roasted potatoes - delicious potatoes loaded with flavor. I can eat these all by themselves for a great snack.

    Instructions

    • Turn Instant Pot on to saute. Let heat and add in olive oil. Add the pork tenderloin. Brown pork, about 3 minutes per side. Remove pork, set aside.
    • Add in ½ can of the chicken stock. Use a wooden spoon to bring up brown bits. (Note 2) Add remainder of the chicken stock. Press Cancel to stop the saute function.
    • Place the trivet into the cooking insert. Add in the sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and white turnips. Season with pepper. 
    • Then add the browned pork tenderloin on top of the veggies and stock. Seal the Instant Pot. Ensure the valve is closed. Press "Pressure Cooker" on high heat, set the timer to 5 minutes. Once the cycle is complete, allow a natural release for about 10 minutes. 
    • Remove the pork tenderloin. Let rest for about 5 minutes. Slice about ½ inch thick and serve with the veggies. 

    NOTES

    Note 1: Bringing up any brown bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot is very important. This prevents burning.
