Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork chops, boneless or bone-in, around 3/4 inches thick
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup ghee (or sub another healthy cooking fat)
  • 1/2 cup local honey
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Season your pork chops with sea salt and pepper. Melt ghee in the stainless steel bowl of your Instant Pot using the “Saute” feature.
  2. Sear the pork chops on each side for 1 minute
  3. Add in the remaining ingredients, press the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button and stir
  4. Secure the lid, close the pressure valve, and press the “Poultry” button (high pressure, 15 minutes)
  5. Allow the cooking cycle to complete
  6. Quick release the pressure valve and remove the lid when safe to do so
  7. Serve warm

Notes

I also included a thinly sliced onion and sauteed it first with the ghee. You can include this or omit as desired.

    This looks amazing. Waiting for tomorrow’s delivery of your book is mine Christmas all over again!
    Did you leave the onion in while cooking the chops or take them out after sautéing?

        There is no onion in the recipe. Where did they come from in the picture?

          I included them for my own liking. If you’d like to add onion you certainly can add them too. Just toss them into the IP before securing the lid.

    Could you please clarify how thick the pork chops are supposed to be for me? It looks like it says 3.4 inches.

      I fixed it – should say 3/4 inches.

    No liquid is needed? I’m soooo new to the method and was just curious.

    Hi, is the Quick Release necessary or could I let it go naturally and resort to “keep warm” when done?

      You could let it release naturally!

    Turned out great. Was skeptical that it didn’t require any additional liquid, but it worked fine and came to pressure. I deglazed the pot with some chicken broth before dumping all the ingredients in. Would add more onions next time. Did NPR for 20 min. Thanks. Can’t wait to buy the book

    What if the pork chops are frozen? Can you adjust cooking time?

      Yes you would need to increase the time slightly

    Haven’t tried this yet, but just wondering if boneless center cut pork loin chops are OK for this? My experience has been (cooking in pan or in oven) that they cook quickly and dry out quickly. 15 minutes at pressure seems like kind of a long time.

      February 17, 2017 at 7:27 pm

      Yes! Boneless will work! I just made them again but if you’d like to decrease the time please tailor it to your needs!

    I made this tonight and while it was pretty good, I felt it needed a bit more flavor and the IP developed quite a lot do extra liquid which watered the sauce down. I would make again, but I think it needs tweaking. It’s also quite high in carbs.

      Thanks for your feedback. I don’t count carbs so I don’t consider them a bad thing but you can definitely try some of my lower carb recipes if you are sensitive!

    Can you cook some potatoes in a steamer above the chops? Or is the cooking time too long ?

    It was good, but my 1 inch pork chops were a bit dry. I think k I’ll adjust the cooking time some next time.

    I made this yummy recipe but made some adjustments. I used double the pork chops and tenderized them with a meat mallet before cooking them. I added honey dijon mustard and some dried rosemary and left out the parsley. I also sauteed diced onions before cooking the chops and I sprinkled the chops with garlic pwd. to enhance the flavor even more. Biggest difference; I pressure cooked them for 5 minutes only. They came out perfectly, tender, moist and delicious.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
