  • 1 tsp thyme

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Season 28 oz boneless pork loin with 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp chili powder, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Set aside.

2

In the meantime, start the ‘Sauté’ function on the Instant Pot and heat up 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Add 1 tbsp of chopped garlic. When the garlic is fragrant, add 8 oz crimini mushroom and stir-fry until softened (about 5 minutes). Then add 4 oz onion, 4 oz carrot, 8 oz asparagus, and 2 tbsp unsalted butter to the pot and stir-fry for another 5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a plate.

3

In the ‘Sauté’ mode, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and sear the marinated pork for 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove the meat from the pot.

4

Turn off the sauteé setting. Place a trivet in the Instant Pot, add 1 cup unsalted chicken broth, and arrange your pork on the trivet.

5

Set to ‘Meat Stew’ mode and cook for 20 minutes. Allow pressure to naturally release before opening the pot to get the pork.

6

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tsp flour with 1 tbsp water until smooth. Turn the Instant Pot to the ‘Sauté’ setting, stir the mixture into the pot and let the sauce thicken.

7

Serve the pork with stir-fried vegetables and the sauce drizzled on top. Garnish the dish with 2 tbsp parsley.
