INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 -3 Lb Frozen Pork Tenderloin Roast. From Costco. There are 2 pieces in one pkg.
2 tsp Seasoning salt.
EVOO to spritz on the pork.
3 c Chicken Broth
Paprika if you need it to have some color.
DIRECTIONS:
Note: The reason for the 3 c broth is because it all plays into the cook times of the frozen pork loin. It takes longer to heat up and boil (starts to defrost/thaw the meat) as well as it takes longer to cool down which keeps the pressure up for longer which is all cook time. The broth also keeps hot and contents hot longer, all playing into the NPR which is all cook time too. make sense? Plus it makes good gravy if you thicken it up or save it for later.
Pour 3 c Chicken Broth into the Pot, add the trivet.
Remove wrapper from the frozen Pork, spritz with EVOO and sprinkle seasoning on the Roast. The Olive Oil will help it stick.
Lower the Tenderloin into the Pot.
Put the lid on and Vent to Sealing. Set the time for 20 min and then let it NPR for 20 min before opening. 30 if you like the meat more done.
Check for doneness. Target Internal Temp is 145°. It will keep rising for a few min. If it’s not quite there yet. You can cut it in half and put the lid back on and turn the pot to Sauté, open the vent, and let it steam for a minute, but watch carefully so it doesn’t over cook.
If you need to have a little brown color on it, sprinkle with a bit of paprika on the spices before cooking ….and you can still put it up close to the elements under the broiler for about 1 minute max before slicing up.
Slice into 3/4” medallion slices.
