Easy Instant Pot Pork Loin Roast Recipe
We love cooking with our Instant Pot Pressure Cooker and the results are fantastic! You can achieve the same results in the slow cooker. But if you need a quick pork loin dinner, the Instant Pot is the best! Cooking roast pork loin is so easy. All you need to have is all your ingredients ready and add it all to the cookers, press a few buttons and you have a wonderful dinner for the whole family.
How to make Roast Pork Loin in Instant Pot or Slow Cooker
- This Instant Pot pork roast is super juicy, tender and flavorful. Theres so many great features in cooking with our pressure cooker but two features really stand out in this recipe.
- SEAR: First of all, we can sear the pork on the Saute function in the Instant pot. This really helps make the pork loin roast extra juicy by sealing in the flavor and juices.
- SIZE MATTERS: Secondly, we absolutely love how quick it is to cook this pork roast! Depending on the size of the roast, we used about 2 pounds, the pork cooked in about 30 minutes. For us that timing always resulted in a delicious and juicy meal. Some slow cookers have a searing function as well, which is an added plus!
- Cut veggies to about equal sizes for even cooking. Don’t cut carrots or potatoes (root vegetables) too large. These take a little longer to cook, so cutting them in smaller, bite sized pieces is better.
- All recipe details are in the recipe box below.

- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) butter
- 1/2 onion , diced
- 4 cloves garlic , minced

Equipment
Instructions
- Season pork with salt and pepper. Turn Instant Pot on “Sauté”, and add butter and melt. Add the pork loin and sear the sides of the pork loin to a nice golden brown. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the carrots, celery, broth or apple juice, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, and herbs.
- Close the lid, set to high pressure, and after the pressure cooker reaches full pressure, cook for about 30 minutes *depending on size & preferred doneness. (These are the steps we did for our Instant Pot: Press “Cancel” to stop the “Sauté” setting. Press the “Manual” button. Set the time to 30 minutes.)
- After the cooking time is complete, press “Cancel” and carefully release the pressure. If possible, check the internal temperature of the pork loin (it should be about 145°F).
- Remove the pork loin from the Instant Pot (keep the juices the Instant Pot), cover and allow the pork loin to rest for about 10 minutes, depending on how large your loin roast is and how well done you like it.
- Mix together the cornstarch and water. Add to the Instant Pot with the juices. Turn Instant Pot on “Sauté” and simmer until thickened. Taste seasoning and add additional salt and pepper if desired.

I followed your instructions and the pork cooked perfectly. This is definitely a much easier way to cook pork. Thanks a bunch!
It’s definitely easy and easy clean up too!
I’m obsessed with this recipe. I was hesitant at first because I tried two other recipes that didn’t work. Your instructions were perfect and super clear. The pork comes out great every time (this is my third time making it). Thanks for helping me become a better cook!
First time using for the pressure cooker function, and this recipe was great. Pork was super tender and juicy. I will omit the brown sugar next time, as we didn’t really care for the sweetness in the gravy. Also, I used baby carrots, which were way over done. Next time I will use full size carrots.
This was so flavorful, tender and delicious. The whole family loved it!
Made this tonight with rave reviews from my family! I put my pork on the trivet because I was afraid it might stick. It was done perfectly at 30 minutes.
Awesome. So glad it go the thumbs up from your family!
If I have a 5.5 lb loin and cut it half to sear it. How long do I cook it?
Hi Kim, if it was cut in half, you should cook it for about 45 minutes. Then check on it and if needed, cook for another 10 minutes until it reached your desired doneness.
As a very new instant pot user I appreciated your very specific directions. I did add 3 cubed potatoes (with skin) and for seasoning I used Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute. End result was excellent!
Thanks Kathy for enjoying the recipe and for the feedback! Enjoy more recipes in the IP!
Do you pull the veggies out of the pot before you make the sauce or leave them in? Thanks.
We normally leave the veggies in. But you can take the out if you want to make sure they don’t get smashed while the sauce is being made. Thanks!
I love using my Instant Pot. This recipe is perfect for a family meal!
MY HUSBAND WANTED TO TAKE ME OUT TO DINNER YESTERDAY FOR OUR 21ST ANNIVERSARY AND I said what for to order something that I eat over and over, so I COOKED THIS RECIPE JUST ADDED POTATOES AND THIS WAS THE BEST DINNER EVER. GLAD I DIDNT WANT TO GO OUT,COULDNT GET THAT IN A RESTURANT , THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, ITS A KEEPER HUBBY LOVED IT
Hi Karen! Happy Anniversary to you both! That’s so awesome that you cooked your anniversary meal and it turned out delicious!
Made this last night and it was a hit! I had a 4 lb half loin that I cut in half so I had two roasts. I increased the carrots to 4 and wish I had increased to 6 (we love carrots). I increased the time by 3 minutes and let it naturally pressure release. It had no problem hitting the right internal temperature. The gravy was delicious, and we served with mashed potatoes and broccoli. This was a great “Sunday dinner” midweek!
Perfectly cooked! Love that you can do this in that Instant Pot instead of so long in the oven.
So glad you loved it!
I made this last night for dinner and have posted the recipe page on Facebook. I can’t tell you how delicious this was, there are no words. The only thing I did was add some potatoes and I increased the carrots and celery to 3. It was so good and although I wanted seconds I refrained so we would have enough for dinner tonight. My husband raved about this. The other thing I did was I used Pork Sirloin instead of Pork Loin. I buy them at Costco and they come in multiples. I am making your Rice Con Leche as we speak and cam;t wait to try it. Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful recipe. You are the best!
Thanks for the wonderful feedback Patsy! We’re so happy you enjoyed it. If you share it, it would be awesome if you shared our link to the recipe too so your friends can visit more of our delicious recipes. Thanks so much for the support!
Thank you that was amazing. Didn’t go so heavy on the garlic and added potatoes. Definitely a do again meal.
This recipe turned out perfectly! I did have to get creative since I had no applejuice, and I did want that dash of sweetness. So I added the 1/2cup water with a tablespoon of plum jam.
Thanks Susanne for the feedback and the plum jam sounds fantastic!
Hi… any ideas/suggestions as to how I can adapt this recipe if I’m using a 6-lb. half pork loin roast (that will be cut into two 3-lb. pieces)? I’m more than likely going to stand each piece on its end, using the trivet, so that I can get both 3-lb pieces to cook at the same time.
Do you think both pieces will get to 145 degrees if cook at normal pressure for 30 minutes?
Thoughts?
Thank you!
Hi Chad, we’ve never tried cooking multiple roasts at one time, but we would think that you would have to increase cooking times by at least another 15 minutes. And you might want to increase the amount of liquid for the gravy too. If it’s too dry, then at least you have the gravy to keep it moist. And if you do it again, keep adjusting the cooking times until it works the the size of both your roasts!
