Ingredients

½ stick butter unsalted
1 ½ pound pork tenderloin
3 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon grainy Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup broth low sodium

Instructions

In a small bowl combine honey and both mustards. Rub tenderloin with mixture and sprinkle with salt.
Melt butter in the Instant Pot on the sauté feature, then brown the meat for about 3 minutes per side then transfer to a plate.
Pour broth and scrape up brown bits, then shut off Instant Pot.
Put a trivet in, then place the tenderloin on top. Turn on HIGH or MANUAL (depending on your machine) and cook for 5 minute with a 10 minute natural release. Ensure the pork is cooked to 145F, then allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes.
If desired, remove trivet and thicken sauce on the sauté feature.

Notes

Adding broth to the Instant Pot helps loosen the browned bits stuck to the bottom after searing the pork tenderloin. This adds extra flavor to the sauce and helps prevent a burn warning during pressure cooking.
It takes about 12 minutes on high pressure to cook the pork tenderloin from frozen, followed by a 10-minute natural release. I still recommend checking it with a thermometer before letting it rest to ensure it’s done.
I use a 1.5 lb pork tenderloin, and when it’s fully thawed and at room temperature, it cooks in about 5 minutes on high pressure.
