Ingredient substitutions

For this instant pot pork roast, you can use either a boneless pork loin or a boneless pork shoulder. Both will yield a tasty and tender final result.

I like to use chicken broth, but you can use a pork stock, beef broth or even a vegetable broth in this recipe.

You can switch up the seasoning blends to fit your needs. If you want something a little spicier you can use some red pepper flakes in the rub. If you want something slightly sweet, mix some brown sure and nutmeg in with the other ingredients.

How to make this instant pot pork roast

Step 1: Season and saute

To begin, mix salt, garlic powder, black pepper, thyme, and sage together. Rub the pork with the seasoning mixture on all sides.

Then, heat oil in the instant pot on saute mode. You will want to sear the seasoned pork until browned on all sides which should be about 10 minutes total.

Step 2: add broth and pressure cook

Next, turn off saute mode and pour the chicken broth into the instant pot. Turn to manual high pressure and set the timer to 45 minutes.

Set the vent to sealing and allow the instant pot to come to pressure. It will cook for 45 minutes.

Step 3: Release pressure and enjoy

After the instant pot pork roast cooks for 45 minutes, the timer will beep. Next, manually release pressure.

Remove the roast from the pan and allow it to cool slightly. Slice the pork into thin slices and mix with the juices in the instant pot.

Now it is time to serve. Enjoy!

Storage and reheating

Allow the pork roast to cool completely. Slice and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat slices of the pork in some of the juices on the stovetop. Heat in a skillet over medium low until the pork is just warmed through.
