  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) salted butter
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups (473 ml) chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour optional

Instructions

  • Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper and smoked paprika.

  • Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode on high. Add the butter to the pot. Once melted, add pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side. Depending on the size of your pork chops/the size of your Instant Pot, you may have to do this in batches. Remove pork chops from the pot and set aside.
    2 tablespoons salted butter
    seared pork chops in the insert of the instant pot
  • Add in onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until translucent. Add in garlic and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.

  • Pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, brown sugar and thyme, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer, then add the pork chops back in.

  • Close and seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 10 minutes. Once the cooking time is done, allow for natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully open the lid.
  • To make gravy, remove the pork chops from the pot and set aside. Turn the pot to Sauté. Whisk together the flour with 1-2 teaspoons of water or chicken stock to make a slurry, then whisk into the remaining broth mixture in the pot. Bring a simmer for a few minutes, until thickened, then serve over the pork chops with mashed potatoes.
    2 tablespoons all purpose flour
