- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Mix garlic powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub all over pork tenderloin. Trim and cut to fit in Instant Pot if needed.
- Set Instant Pot to Sauté. Add oil and sear pork on all sides.
- Pour in broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Scrape up any brown bits.
- Seal lid. Cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes. Natural release for 10 minutes.

Notes
For smaller tenderloins (under 1.5 lbs), cook for 2 minutes at pressure. Swap honey for maple syrup, or arrowroot for cornstarch if you prefer. Add root veggies to the pot for a one-and-done meal.
