Instant Pot Strawberry Pork Roast Recipes

INSTANT POT PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Brown Pork Butt: Heat up Instant Pot by using "Sauté More" function. Wait until the indicator says "HOT". Generously season pork butt with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Add 1 tbsp (15ml) grapeseed oil in Instant Pot. Make sure to coat the oil well over the whole bottom of the pot. Add in seasoned pork butt, then let it brown for exactly 5 minutes on each side. You don't need to constantly flip the meat. When pork butt is nice and browned, remove and set aside to rest for 5 minutes on a chopping board.
• Sauté Mushrooms: Add 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter in Instant Pot. Add in chopped cremini mushrooms. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the mushrooms with butter. Mushrooms will start releasing their moisture. Let the moisture evaporate, then stir occasionally until mushrooms are slightly crisped and browned. Amy + Jacky's Tip: This step takes roughly 7 to 12 minutes, but it'll greatly enhance the gravy's flavors.
• Cut Pork Butt: While the mushrooms are sautéing in Instant Pot, cut the pork butt into 0.5" thick slices.
• Sauté Garlic & Carrots: Add in minced garlic, then sauté until fragrant (~20 seconds). Add in carrots and 2 bay leaves, then sauté for another 2 minutes.
• Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour a dash of Balsamic vinegar, then fully deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Mix in 1 cup (250ml) unsalted chicken stock and 2 tbsp (30ml) regular soy sauce.
• Pressure Cook Pork Roast: Add in sliced pork butt with all the meat juice. Layer potato chunks on top. With Venting Knob in Venting Position, close the lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 5 minutes, then Natural Release for 10 minutes. Open the lid carefully.
• Make Gravy: Place sliced pork, carrots, and potatoes on a large serving plate. Taste the gravy and season with more salt if necessary. Mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water, then stir the mixture into the gravy one third at a time until desired thickness. Put the sliced pork, carrots, and potatoes back into the gravy, then mix gently to coat them with the gravy.
• Serve: Serve the flavorful pork roast with your favorite side dishes or eat it as a meal. Enjoy~ :)

INSTANT POT PORK ROAST WITH VEGETABLES & GRAVY

Steps:

• Trim the fat cap on the roast, this will be a large white area of fat on one side of the roast. Trim it down to about 1/8th of an inch thick. It is ok if you trim through to the meat in some areas. Trim up any other large areas of fat.
• Tie the pork roast with kitchen twine. See the video below for a visual tutorial on tying a roast.
• Rub the roast completely with 1 tbsp of dijon mustard. Sprinkle the Italian dressing mix packet on all sides of the roast.

• YOU CANNOT SKIP THIS STEP OR YOU WILL GET A BURN WARNING DURING PRESSURE COOKING.
• Pour the 2 cups chicken broth into the pot, keeping the saute function on. Scrape the bottom of the pot until ALL the brown bits are scraped up.Tip- you can lift your pot with an oven mit (it will be hot) and tilt it to the side to see if you got all the browned bits up.

• Pop the lid on the pot and lock the pressure valve in place. Set the pot to cook on meat/stew mode for 15 minutes per pound. Ex. For my 3 lb roast it was 45 minutes.NOTE: if you are using a frozen pork roast calculate 20 minutes per pound with a 15 minute natural pressure release.
