Instant Pot Pork Chops
Description
In this recipe, pork chops about 1-inch thick are browned in olive oil using the Instant Pot's sauté function to develop color and flavor. Onions and sliced mushrooms are then sautéed in the pot until golden. Beef broth is added to deglaze, scraping flavorful bits from the bottom, followed by seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The pork chops return to the pot and pressure cook under high for 15 minutes. After a natural release and quick release, the pork is removed while the remaining broth is thickened with a cornstarch slurry. This gravy, rich in mushroom flavor and thickened to coat, is served over the pork chops. The dish offers tender meat paired with a savory, creamy mushroom sauce, suitable for an easy, comforting meal.
