Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 fresh rosemary sprigs

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the pork loin dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork loin.

Step 3

Set your pressure cooker to the sauté mode. Add olive oil and heat it until shimmering.

Step 4

Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the pork loin and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the pressure cooker and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Place the seared pork loin back into the pressure cooker. Add the rosemary sprigs on top of the pork.

Step 8

Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set the valve to the sealing position.

Step 9

Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Once the cooking time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.

Step 10

Carefully remove the pork loin from the pressure cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Optionally, you can thicken the cooking liquid in the pressure cooker into a sauce by setting the cooker back to sauté mode and simmering until reduced.

Step 12

Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Serve with the sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
