When we tested the recipe for this Instant Pot Balsamic Pork Roast, we couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was. This would be amazing for a low-carb dinner; make Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Roast if you prefer using the slow cooker!

I hope you can tell from the photos that this Instant Pot Balsamic Pork Roast was absolutely amazing because Kara and I swooned over this when we tested the recipe! For a long time now I’ve had a note to myself to try an Instant Pot version of the popular Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Roast on the blog, and we were so happy with how the Instant Pot version turned out

And this was so quick and easy to make in the Instant Pot! We used the same Rosemary and Garlic Herb Rub that I liked so much for the slow cooker version, but if you don’t want to make that mixture, just substitute any seasonings that are good with pork. I used pork loin roast from Costco, which was inexpensive as well as being delicious, and this made eight servings for a main dish that’s perfect for a special meal!

What Size Instant Pot Did I Use?

1. Make the Rosemary and Garlic Herb Rub, if using. 
2. Trim unwanted fat from the pork loin roast, then rub the roast on all sides with the herb rub.
3. Combine beef stock and balsamic vinegar to make the cooking liquid.
4. Turn Instant Pot to SAUTE, MEDIUM HEAT, and heat the oil.
5. Then add the pork roast and brown well on all sides. 
6. Remove roast and use a plastic turner to scrape off any browned bits on the bottom of the pot.
7. Then add the roast back into the Instant Pot and pour the cooking liquid over.
8. Set Instant Pot to MANUAL, HIGH HEAT, 15 MINUTES.
9. When cooking time is up, use NATURAL RELEASE to release the pressure.
10. Remove the roast to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm.
11. Set Instant Pot to SAUTE, HIGH HEAT, and simmer the cooking liquid until it’s reduced as much as you prefer. 
12. After sauce has reduced, slice the roast into pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
13. Serve hot with sauce to drizzle over the meat at the table.
