Step 1

Preheat the Instant Pot on HIGH Saute.

Step 2

Combine the potatoes and butternut squash into an ovenproof bowl that will fit into the Instant Pot. You may do all squash, all potatoes, all sweet potatoes, all turnips, or a mix of any of the above! Cover with foil.

Step 3

Cut the pork tenderloin pieces into four even pieces (8 pieces total).

Step 4

Season the meat with about half of the Yankee Pot Roast seasoning, or, liberally with pepper, rosemary, garlic, and thyme.

Step 5

Add oil to the hot pot.

Step 6

Sear each piece of pork, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pot (You may have to do this in batches).

Step 7

Add about a tablespoon more butter, and saute the mushrooms, minced onion or onion flakes (if using your own blend), and garlic until browned and fragrant.

Step 8

Add hot beef broth, soy sauce, and the rest of the seasoning blend. Scrape the pot to get all the flavor into the broth (Using hot liquid helps your pot come to pressure much faster).

Step 9

Return the meat to the pot.

Step 10

Stack a trivet/rack into the Instant Pot, on top of the meat.

Step 11

Stack the bowl of squash/potatoes on top of the trivet/rack.

Step 12

Lock the lid, turn the knob to SEALING.

Step 13

Cook on manual high pressure for 20 minutes.

Step 14

When pressure cooking has completed, carefully release the pressure (a quick release), or allow a natural pressure release (whatever you have time for).

Step 15

Remove the bowl of potatoes with an oven mitt. If there’s a lot of liquid in the bowl, strain it out.

Step 16

Mash the potatoes in the bowl with butter, heavy cream/milk, and salt to taste.

Step 17

Remove the meat onto a serving platter to rest for a couple minutes. Slice into 1/2 inch pieces, if desired.

Step 18

Set the Instant Pot to HIGH Saute.

Step 19

Taste the broth and add more soy sauce, beef/chicken bouillon, pepper, garlic, or seasoning to taste.

Step 20

Combine the cornstarch and heavy cream to make a paste.

Step 21

When the liquid comes to a boil, whisk the heavy cream mixture into the gravy to thicken.

Step 22

Turn off the Instant Pot/remove from heat immediately and serve. Enjoy with Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce or Instant Pot Steamed Broccoli
