INSTANT POT® PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place pork chops in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®); top with butter. Sprinkle onion soup mix over pork chops. Pour in apple juice.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.

INSTANT POT® PORK CHOPS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oil in the pot of an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) set on the Saute function.
• Season pork chops with black pepper. Cook 2 to 3 chops in the hot oil, flipping halfway, until browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Move to a plate; sear the remaining chops and place on a plate.
• Add garlic to the pot and cook until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Deglaze the bottom of the pot with wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until sauce is reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir mushroom soup and 1 1/4 cup water into the pot with the sauce. Simmer until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the seared pork chops and turn to coat. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 18 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Remove chops from the pot.
• Mix 1/4 cup water and flour together; add slurry to the pot. Select Saute function and cook until gravy is thickened, about 3 minutes. Add soy sauce and stir well. Return chops to the pot and turn to coat.

INSTANT POT® SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork chops with garlic powder, seasoned salt, oregano, onion powder, and pepper.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt butter in the hot pot. Add pork chops, working in two batches if necessary, and sear until crispy and brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the chops to a plate. Pour in vegetable broth, and deglaze, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
• Place a trivet at the bottom of the inner pot and stack the pork chops on top. You do not want the pork chops resting in the liquid or the seasoning will wash off. Close and lock the lid and turn the pressure valve to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for at least 10 minutes. Remove the pork chops and let rest while you make the gravy.
• Select Saute function on the Instant Pot®. Whisk sour cream into the broth and allow the liquid to simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy reduces by half and thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour gravy over chops and serve.

INSTANT POT® DIJON PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine salt, pepper, and thyme in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture over both sides of the pork chops, rubbing in and pressing down.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil and when hot, add pork chops and brown for 3 minutes per side. Remove chops and set aside. Pour in wine and chicken stock. Stir and deglaze the bottom of the pan and allow the liquid to slightly reduce and the alcohol to cook off, about 3 minutes. Turn off Saute function.
• Add chops back to the pot, close and lock the lid, and set the pressure valve to sealing. Select Manual high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions, and set the timer for 5 minutes, allowing 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove pork chops to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Turn on Saute function. Cook for about 1 minute to reduce liquid; stir in Dijon mustard and garlic powder. Gradually stir in butter until well incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add pork chops back to the pot, coating with the sauce.
• Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
