Pressure Cooker Garlic Honey Butter Pork Loin

Sharing is caring!

This Pressure Cooker Garlic Honey Butter Pork Loin gets two thumbs up from my entire family. The sticky sauce is where it’s at! It is sweet, tangy, garlicky deliciousness! I will show you step by step how we make it.

Here’s what you need to make Pressure Cooker Garlic Honey Butter Pork Loin:

• 3-4 pound pork loin, NOT tenderloin
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 3/4 cup water

RUB INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tsp. paprika
• 2 tsp. thyme
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

This is my favorite measuring spoon from Pampered Chef! It comes in a set, Adjustable Measuring Spoons Set, they are so handy and I love that I can use one spoon for many different measurements.

GARLIC HONEY BUTTER SAUCE:

• 3/4 cup honey
• 1 stick butter, half cup
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper

To make the Garlic Honey Butter Sauce:

Melt the butter and add all other ingredients and whisk together.

We bought this pork loin at Costco when they were $4.00 off a package. Screaming deal! It was nearly 8 pounds so we cut it in half and froze the other half for another time. Sometimes the label will say boneless pork loin, sometimes it is labeled pork loin roast. Just make sure you do NOT use pork TENDERloin. Tenderloin is much smaller. Both are lean cuts of meat but if you tried to use tenderloin for this recipe it would be WAY overcooked.

Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and add the spice rub. Make sure to cover all sides of the pork and rub it in well.

THE QUICK COOKER:

We love our Quick Cooker pressure cooker from Pampered Chef. We love that the steam releases with the press of a button so the steam isn’t near your hand when it releases. The carry handles on the bottom make it easy to move and it has so many functions at the turn of a knob.

BROWNING:

Press the saute or sear function on your pressure cooker, they do the same thing, just different brands of pressure cookers. When it is hot add the 2 tablespoons of oil and place the seasoned pork loin inside. You want to brown each side, just a minute or so each. Large Chef’s Tongs help make turning the meat easier.

DEGLAZE THE POT:

Once you have browned each side, remove the pork loin to a plate. Now you will add 3/4 cup water and deglaze the pot. Make sure to scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot to avoid food burning while under pressure.

Add the pork loin back to the pot with the water and drippings and pour the garlic honey butter sauce over the top. Do NOT stir.

UNDER PRESSURE:

Make sure the silicone seal is properly in place, close the lid, and make sure the valve on top of the pressure cooker is closed. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes and let naturally release pressure for an additional 15 minutes. Release any remaining pressure and remove the lid. It should smell AMAZING right about now. Make sure the internal temperature is at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Carefully remove the pork loin to a platter and cover with foil to rest.

THE AMAZING GARLIC HONEY BUTTER SAUCE:

Make a corn starch slurry by combining 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 6 tablespoons cold water and mix until there are no lumps. Press the saute/sear button again and allow the sauce to come to a boil. Whisk in the slurry and stir until thickened. Press cancel on the pot.

Pour some of the sauce over the pork loin and reserve the rest to serve with the meat. This sauce is seriously addictive!

Slice and serve warm. We like ours with a side of cooked veggies and a green salad.
