Instant Pot Pork Chops With Mushroom Gravy

Step 1

Prep Instant Pot: Set the Instant Pot to the Saute setting and add the olive oil to heat.

Step 2

Sear Pork Chops: When the olive oil is hot add the pork chops and sear on all sides. Lightly season the chops with salt and pepper as they're searing. Do it in batches if not all the chops fit. Remove the chops from the Instant Pot and set aside.

Step 3

Add Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic to the Instant Pot and saute until the moisture in the mushrooms has evaporated and started to brown a bit.

Step 4

Add Rest Of Ingredients: Add the chicken broth, soy sauce and Italian seasoning to the pot and stir well. Make sure to deglaze the pot by scrubbing all the brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Step 5

Cook: Transfer the pork chops back to the instant pot and close the Instant Pot lid. Set the valve to sealing and set the Instant Pot to Manual/High Pressure for 15 minutes. When the time is up, let the Instant Pot release naturally for 10 minutes then release remaining pressure.

Step 6

Remove Pork Chops: Open the lid carefully and transfer the pork chops to a cutting board or serving platter. Set the Instant Pot to the Saute setting and bring the sauce to a simmering.

Step 7

Make Gravy: Whisk the flour with the heavy cream and pour into the Instant Pot, a bit at a time until desired thickness. Cook for a couple minutes until the gravy thickens. Taste the sauce for seasoning and adjust as necessary with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Serve: Serve pork chops with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes or rice.
