  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 3 lb Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 Tablespoon Chipotle Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 Apples sliced thinly
  • 2 Onions chopped into large segments and separated
  • ½ cup Broth
  • Honey to taste (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

  • Place 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in the Instant Pot and set to "sauté". Pat dry your pork tenderloin, season with salt, chipotle pepper and cumin.
  • When the oil is hot, place the pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot and brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes each before flipping.
  • Once the pork tenderloin is browned all over, remove to a plate and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the Instant Pot.
  • Add the onions and one of the sliced apples to the Instant Pot. Cook until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
  • Carefully place shallow cuts into the pork tenderloin ever ¼″ to ½″. Insert an apple slice into each cut.
  • Once the apple-onion medley is done cooking, turn off the instant pot and place the pork overtop. then add ½ cup of water or broth.
  • Secure the lid and cook on meat setting for 30 minutes. Natural release. Drizzle the honey over the top of the pork before serving.

Notes

Searing For Flavor: Before cooking tenderloin it is important to sear on saute mode. Searing creates a flavorful crust, locking in juices and enhancing the overall taste of the pork tenderloin.
Rest Meat: Allow tenderloin to rest after removing it from heat. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender final product. Aim for a resting period of about 5-10 minutes before slicing or serving.
