Ingredients

2 lb pork loin roast boneless
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ c. vegetable broth

Instructions

In a small bowl combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. Season the entire pork roast with spice mixture.
Set Instant Pot to Saute. When setting reads HOT, add oil.
Add pork and brown on all sides, about two minutes per side.
Cancel Saute setting on Instant Pot.
Add vegetable broth to Instant Pot and scrape anything that’s on the bottom of the pot from sauteing the meat to prevent burn warning.
Add pork to Instant Pot, fat side up. Close the lid with the pressure vent closed and set Instant Pot to manual for 20 minutes.
When time is up let the Instant Pot natural release for 5 minutes then manually release any more pressure.
Open lid, remove pork and set on cutting board. Check to make the internal temperature is 145 degrees F. Let pork loin rest for additional 3 minutes.
Slice into 3/4'' - 1'' pieces and serve.

Notes

Cook it fat side up.
Pork is "done" at 145 degrees F. Do not over cook it or it will be dry and chewy.'
It is safe to consume pork if it has a pink center as long as it has an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Medium-Rare – 145 to 150 degrees F.
- Medium – 150 to 155 degrees F.
- Medium-Well – 155 to 160 degrees F.
- Well-Done – 160-165 degrees F.
Remember to let the pork rest before slicing into it, so the juices can redistribute and you get the juiciest pork loin ever!
Cut the slices thick, about 3/4'' to 1'' slices.

Leftovers - When I have leftovers I store the sliced pork in an airtight container with some of the leftover juice. It keeps well for a few days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.

Reheat - To reheat it, just warm the slices in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Cover the pan with a lid so the meat doesn't try out and just turn it a few times while it warms up. It only takes a couple of minutes!
