How to make Instant Pot pork roast with potatoes and carrots

Cooked onions in a silver instant pot

Step 1: Rub the seasoning mix over the pork. Sear the pork and set aside.

Step 2: Add the onions and garlic to the inner pot and cook until softened. Deglaze the pot with wine, scraping up as many of the browned bits as possible.

Tips

  • Brown sugar: The sugar can be reduced or even omitted if you prefer. The pork isn't sweet, but the sugar does help to balance out the flavors.
  • Pork roast: This recipe is made for a small, boneless pork roast. Be sure to remove any netting on your pork roast if it has any. Pork tenderloin won't work well in this recipe and will dry out with the extended cooking time.
  • Wine: If you don't want to use wine, simply substitute an equal amount of chicken broth in place of the wine.
  • Balsamic vinegar: Feel free to use more or less to taste.

Storage

Store any leftover pork and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The pork will keep for up to 4 days when properly stored in the fridge.

    Made this for dinner last night and boy was it a hit. My only complaint was that there were no leftovers for lunch today. 😉
    Guess I'll have to make it again.

    This is the best recipe. I would make no changes. The spices for the rub was perfect and the wine added a richer flavor. I used Napa Valley cherry wood aged organic balsamic vinegar which made the gravy so so delicious. My company couldn’t get enough and we all ate way too much. I will Share this for sure!
