Got a busy night ahead of you? Make this delicious Instant Pot Pork Roast with Vegetables. It’s an entire meal made in your pressure cooker and only takes about 90 minutes. The result is a tender pork roast with carrots and potatoes that is smothered in homemade gravy.

PIN IT FOR LATER!

If you think Pork Roast is only for Sundays I have some good news for you! Traditional it takes several hours in the oven, which is great when you have several hours which, for me is, um, almost never! So, what used to be a special occasion dinner is now doable in 90 minutes start to finish thanks to my trusty Instant Pot. I can make it in less than two hours! Yes, please!

Ingredients Needed

This might look like a long ingredient list for this Instant Pot Pork Loin, but it’s mostly seasonings or things you already have in your pantry!

Spice Rub

Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Sea Salt
Pepper

Roast

Pork roast
Butter
Garlic
Yellow onion
Worcestershire sauce
Broth
Carrots
Potatoes

Gravy

Butter
All-purpose flour

How to Make the Spice Rub

First, mix together onion and garlic powder with salt and pepper.
Rub it all over a 2 to 3-pound pork roast.

That’s it! The first step is done.

Prep and Cook the Pork

Turn on the saute setting on your Instant Pot. Melt the butter and then cook the onions in it until they’re softened. Add some garlic and cook it with the onions for about a minute.
Add some more butter to the pot and, once it’s melted, sear the pork roast on each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until it develops a nice golden crust.
Remove the pork roast and add broth and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. As it simmers scrape up all of the brown bits off the bottom of the pot.
Place the trivet (the one that came with your Instant Pot) in the pot and place the pork roast on it.
Secure the lid, close the vent, and set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 70 minutes.

Add the Vegetables

Once the timer goes off for the pork, quick release the pressure, and place the vegetables in the Instant Pot with the pork. I use a combination of carrots and potatoes. They cook so fast – they only take about five minutes!

Once you’ve placed the vegetables in the pot, secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for five minutes.
One the timer dings, quick release the pressure and remove the pork and vegetables from the pressure cooker.
Cover them with foil while you make the gravy.

Pork should be cooked to a temperature of 145 degrees F. I’ve tested this recipe several times and my two to three-pound pork roasts are always perfectly cooked in 75 minutes.

If you are worried you can always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer once it’s done.

How to Make the Gravy

As the pork cooks, it releases lots of juices that you can use to make your gravy – you only need some butter and flour and it all comes together right in the Instant Pot!

Remove the trivet and change the Instant Pot setting to saute.
Melt the butter in the Instant Pot. Once it’s melted add the flour.
Whisk the flour and butter together in the juices until smooth. Cook the gravy for 3 to 4 minutes or until it’s thickened.
Give it a taste and add salt and pepper, if desired.

Serve up slices of the pork roast with the vegetables and smother them with the rich gravy. If you have some fresh parsley on hand chop some up for garnish – it adds a nice pop of color!
