Instant Pot Pork Roast
Description
This recipe starts by coating a 2 to 3-pound pork roast with a spice rub of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. The Instant Pot is then used to sauté chopped onions and garlic in butter before searing the roast on all sides, which develops a browned crust inside the pot. After searing, broth and Worcestershire sauce are added and the pot is deglazed to capture the flavorful browned bits.
The pork roast is cooked under high pressure for 70 minutes, resulting in a tender and juicy texture. Once the pressure is released, chopped carrots and potatoes are added and cooked with the residual heat, completing the meal in the same pot.
The included gravy uses butter and flour to thicken the cooking liquid into a rich sauce. This method simplifies roasting and side preparation by combining everything into the Instant Pot, reducing hands-on time and cleanup.
