What do I need to make pork chops?
- You will need the following ingredients:
- Cooking oil: grapeseed oil, canola or vegetable oil will work.
- pork chops: A bone-in pork chop will lead to a juicer pork chop. You can also use a boneless pork chop, but it may end up dry.
- Salt and pepper
- Onion
- English sauce
- Meat broth: You can also use chicken broth.
- Potatoes: I used Yukon Gold potatoes, but you can use Russet potatoes. If using red potatoes, peel and chop the potatoes before adding them to the Instant Pot.
- baby carrots: If you don’t have baby carrots, you can peel and dice a full-size carrot.
- Garlic powder
- dry mustard powder
Instant Pot Pork Chops with Carrots and Potatoes
- Turn on the “sauté” mode on the Instant Pot. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Salt and pepper each pork chop on both sides.
- Sauté pork chops until browned on both sides. This will take about 1-2 minutes per side. They do not need to be cooked well. Take the pork chops out of the Instant Pot and add a tablespoon of cooking oil.
- Add the onions and sauté for two to three minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits left over from the pork chops in the bottom of the pan. Be sure to remove anything from the bottom to prevent burning while cooking.
- Press “cancel” on the Instant Pot and add potatoes, carrots, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and mustard powder and stir.
- Place the pork chops on top of the potatoes and carrots. Put the lid on the Instant Pot. make sure the valve is in the sealing position. Put the button in “meat/stew” for 18 minutes.
- When the timer goes off, quickly release and serve. Garnish with chopped parsley.
- Note: Feel free to use an extra pan to brown the pork chops if you don’t want to brown them one by one in the Instant Pot. This helps make the process go faster, but adds another pan to the mix.
