Step 1

Take the pork tenderloin (usually two come in the pack) and slice it into medallions/discs about 1/2-inch thick.  Place the pork medallions into a gallon freezer bag and set aside

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, make the marinade by combining 1/2 cup of the beef broth, the brown sugar, kosher salt, 1 tsp of the Chinese Five Spice, paprika, soy sauce, cooking sherry, 1 tbsp of hoisin sauce, crushed garlic, crushed ginger and miso paste (if using). Mix together very well and then pour over the pork in the bag.  Press the air out of the bag, seal tightly and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours, flipping once mid-way through (Do NOT skip this step.  Trust me – you want that magical sauce seeping into every crevice of that pork).

Step 3

24 hours later, dump the bag with the pork and all of its marinade into the Instant Pot.  Add in the additional 1/2 cup of beef broth, 1/4 cup of hoisin sauce, 1/2 tsp of Chinese Five Spice and 1/3 cup of honey.  Mix well and make sure the pork is nice and submerged into the marinade (it is fine if some of the pork protrudes above it)

Step 4

Secure the lid and cook on “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” High Pressure for 8 minutes.  Allow a 10 minute natural release and follow with a quick release.

Step 5

When done cooking, use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to a serving dish.  Then, take the sauce from the pot and carefully pour it through a strainer and into a bowl.  Allow the strainer to catch all the excess fat from the pork, discard and return the strained sauce back to the Instant Pot

Step 6

Hit “Keep Warm/Cancel” on the Instant Pot and then “Sauté” and adjust to the “High” or “More” setting. Add in the cornstarch slurry and stir well. Allow the sauce to bubble for a minute as this is what causes it to thicken up.  After a minute of bubbling, turn the pot off and allow it to simmer down so it’s only slightly bubbling. Give it a good stir. The sauce will begin to thicken to that perfect consistency now

Step 7

Using a serving spoon, cascade the sauce over all of the pork and serve!  This is the PERFECT companion to my mega-popular Hibachi Fried Rice so if you have a second Instant Pot, make that with it!  Or you can just use any regular rice on the stove as well ?
