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.

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.

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.

Confused about placement of trivet. It goes on TOP of the veggies and then pork on the trivet?
Eileen xo
The trivet goes right on the inner cooking pot. Then the veggies on the trivet and the pork on top of the veggies.
leah
Worked Great - besides hard boiled eggs. This was my 1st real meal!!
Eileen xo
Excellent, Leah. The Instant Pot has become a go-to for me. So easy and the meals, delish. Glad you liked the recipe. Thank you so much for coming back and letting me know you enjoyed it.
Deborah Trout
This is delicious and so easy! I made this exactly as directed and it was cooked perfectly. My tenderloin came marinated in Italian seasonings. I only added onion powder and seasoning salt. The tenderloin was very tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I served it with steamed haricots verts (long French green beans) and warm bread and it was a hit. Thank you so much for this recipe! I will make it again with different marinated tenderloins.
Eileen xo
I'm so glad Deborah that you enjoyed the pork It is by far, one of my families favorite recipes too.
Kacey Perez

Great idea using the IP to make pork tenderloin. I normally cook it in the oven. I will try this recipe the next time... Thank you for the photo instructions.

Awesome, Carlos. The IP does a great job at securing the flavor. I hope you enjoy.

Laura
I haven't tried pork tenderloin in my IP yet. But now I have the perfect recipe.
Eileen xo
I hope you enjoy it
Myra Dominguez
I have 2 loins 1 1/2 pound each is it still 5 minutes cooking time?
Eileen xo
Hi Myra, I haven't made two tenderloins in the IP together. I am thinking the cooking time should increase by 1 minute to accurately cook the two tenderloins but I have not experimented with it. I hope you let me know how it works for the two tenderloins
Chrissy Mannes
What do you do if you don't have the trivet? I just have the pot, nothing else.
Eileen xo
Hi Chrissy, If you don't have a trivet you can use 2 crumbled up pieces of aluminum foil to raise up the meat. Put one on either end of the pot and place the pork on it. I hope that helps. Enjoy the recipe.
Donna
so I have a tenderloin in the freezer its just plain not marinated. Any recommendations on what herbs to season it with for this recipe?
Eileen xo
Hi Donna, I suggest seasoning the pork with garlic and onion powder, black pepper, and salt, about 1/2 teaspoon each. For herbs how about dried parsley and thyme. If you combine a teaspoon of olive oil and these seasonings on the defrosted tenderloin and sear the meat, you should have a nice meal. Let me know if you have any questions. Also let me know how your dinner turned out. Enjoy!
Jenna
This is a great recipe. Love the veggies in the mix
Eileen xo
