Instant Pot Pork Chops Start with a Good Rub
For this Instant Pot pork chop recipe, we’ll give it a good rub with some very basic seasonings – salt, pepper and brown sugar. After the pork chops are well seasoned on both sides we add some oil to the Instant Pot and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. A quick saute on both sides for about 2-3 minutes each will great an nice golden brown color. Then we remove the pork chops from the Instant Pot, add some chicken broth and liquid smoke, scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon. This is called deglazing and adds greatly to the flavor. Place the pork chops directly in the liquid, close up the pot and pressure cook for 10 minutes. That’s it! Let the pressure naturally release for at least 10-15 minutes and you’re ready to enjoy.
What I like most about this Instant Pot pork chop recipe is that it’s more like a traditional grilled or roasted pork chop. The meat retains some texture without “falling apart”. Don’t get me wrong, the falling apart recipes can be delicious, but like a good steak, sometimes i’d rather cut a nice juicy piece of meat with a knife and fork and enjoy all the juicy tender goodness. This recipe certainly provides all of that! For this Instant Pot pork chops recipe, I use the Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt. The potatoes in the picture are my Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes recipe. Give those a try too!
