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.

Good results. I’m omitted the celery and carrots and doubled the juice, mustard and Worcestershire. This made lots of delicious gravy for mashed potatoes. Will defInitly make again.
Gave this recipe a try tonight and it turned out perfect. The family loved it. I used an almost 3 lb roast and seared it just a tad longer to ensure it would cook thoroughly. Doubled the carrots in place of the celery. Used apple juice instead of broth. The gravy was perfect. Served over brown rice. Will definitely make it again!
Delish! I was just looking for a quick and easy recipe that tasted pretty good and this delivered. The meat was tender and the flavors were excellent. My only bummer was that the veggies were not al dente, which is my preference – more English done veggies but the flavor was so great, everyone loved it! I will make this again!
We just finished eating dinner. My husband said this was the best pork loin I have ever make. I followed the directions that you gave and it was perfect. Made as directed. Thank you and this recipe was just added to the rotation.
Easy and my husband loved it! As a vegan I never know what my meat dishes taste like so I’m happy when they get great reviews! Easy and fast – I used onion soup mix with water instead of stock (I didn’t have any) and rosemary for the herb – smelled terrific while it was cooking – 1.80 lbs (two pieces) for 29 minutes after browning – probably cooked too long but looked perfect.
This dish was delicious! Husband and son who is a picky eater enjoyed it and the sauce is really good! I wasn’t sure what type of broth you use, but I used the Better than Bouillon Roasted Beef Base and it was very good!
Love that beef base and that’s what we love using too when we want to use beef stock. Glad your family enjoyed the recipe!
I made this tonight and it was super tasty, but it came out a bit overdone.. not sure why because I had it in for 25 min in the IP. Still delicious though! Will make again with a shorter cooking time.
Planning on doing a pork loin this weekend. Do you think this would work for a butterflied stuffed loin? I have cooked it that way in the oven and air fryer but not sure how it would come out in a pressure cooker?
We haven’t tried butterflying & stuffing a loin in the IP, but it should work fine. We’d love to hear your results.
I’m making this for the second time tonight. It is so delicious! The whole family loves it. I used Dijon mustard because that’s what I had and it came out great! This recipe is going in the recipe box for frequent use. Yum! Thank you for sharing!!!
Hello , first time user of an IP, I cooked exact to your instructions, and turned out a perfect dinner. I am impressed. Thank you so much for such an easy flavorful recipe.
Thanks for the feedback and we’re so glad this pork roast recipe was a hit for you!
Another Instant Pot winner! Can’t wait to try it!
This looks so yummy! I can’t wait to get an instant pot so I can try this!
Made this exactly as recipe stated and came out amazing!! Gravy was so delicious and great over the sweet potatoes and broccoli I served with the pork. Thanks for the recipe… my husband says it’s a keeper 🙂
My wife got an IP for Christmas. I was home sick today and wanted to make a pork loin since we had one in the fridge. Stumbled upon this recipe and it turned out great. Flavors was spot on. I had spaetzles with it. This was my first time using the IP and if this is the only recipe I ever make, it will be worth it. Two thumbs up.
Hi Nik, Love the spaetzles! Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the recipe.
How easy and delicious – I can’t wait to try this!
Would love to try with a 3.89 lb loin. How long do you think I should cook?
We haven’t tested such a large roast yet. Cooking time would vary depending on if the lion was short and thick, or skinny and long. Best way that we can think of is to cut it in half to make sure you get evening cooking throughout the roast.
