Course: Dinner

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 0 min

Cook Time: 20 min

Total Time: 15-30 min

Cooking Technique: Pressure Cook, Sauté

Cuisine: American

Yield: 4 - 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 tbsp. butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. boneless pork chops
  • 1 oz. dry ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6 cups arugula or spinach

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the Sauté function and adjust to More or High.
  2. When the butter melts, brown the meat on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. The meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
  3. Add water to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Put the meat back into to the pot, top with the remaining 6 tablespoons butter, and sprinkle the ranch packet over the top.
  5. Turn the pot off by selecting Cancel, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  6. Using the display panel select the Manual or Pressure Cook function*. Use the +/- keys to program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes and adjust to Low Pressure.
  7. When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  8. Carefully remove the meat from the pot to a serving plate and cover loosely with foil.
  9. (Optional) Drop arugula or spinach into the pot and stir, just until wilted.
  10. Serve pork chops on a bed of greens drizzled with remaining sauce.

Notes

The Manual and Pressure Cook buttons are interchangeable.
