Description

A recipe for tender pork chops cooked in the Instant Pot and topped with a rich, savory mushroom gravy.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or white button)
  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Set your Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode. Add olive oil. Once hot, sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned. You may need to do this in batches. Remove chops and set aside.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are browned and onions are softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and ensure no bits are stuck.
  5. Return pork chops to the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and set the vent to ‘Sealing’. Cook on ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on HIGH pressure for 6 minutes for 1-inch thick bone-in chops, or 4 minutes for boneless. (Adjust time for thickness).
  6. Once cooking is complete, do a quick release of the pressure (carefully, as steam will escape).
  7. Remove pork chops from the Instant Pot and set aside on a plate, tented with foil, to rest.
  8. Change the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode. Stir in heavy cream. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the simmering liquid in the Instant Pot, whisking constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve pork chops topped with mushroom gravy, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Excellent with mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

  • Adjust pressure cooking time based on the thickness of your pork chops.
  • Ensure you scrape the bottom of the pot after deglazing to prevent a ‘Burn’ notice.
  • The gravy thickens quickly once the cornstarch slurry is added.
