• Cover and move the valve to sealing position.Turn the instant pot to MANUAL pressure 'HIGH' and cook time 45 minutes *depending on size & preferred doneness. Allow for a natural release. When the top unlocks (I left mine on warm for almost 30 minutes while I made my side dishes), slice the roast or you could shred the pork with two forks (if making pulled pork sandwiches).
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat.
• Whisk flour into butter.
• Whisk in 1/2 cup broth until smooth. Whisk in another half cup. Keep adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time stirring together so it's smooth.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer a few minutes.
• Taste and add salt and pepper (and the mushrooms if you are using them(already cooked up). Serve the pork with the gravy, mashed potatoes or polenta, your favorite green vegetable. If you like, drizzle on a little more of the extra virgin olive oil on the pork before serving.
