Instant Pot Chinese Pork Tenderloin

PressureluckCooking.com recipe for Instant Pot Chinese Pork Tenderloin.

Pressureluckcooking.com has more ads and unnecessary in-progress photos than any other blog we’ve seen: when we couldn’t get one recipe to print out by itself there were 49 printer preview pages that preceded it. And yet there are three reasons this site is worth your consideration.

1/It’s one of the few food blogs we’ve seen that is written by a male, and not devoted to barbecue. 2/The title hearkens back to Press Your Luck, a quiz show on which your proprietor appeared. 3/The real reason, it’s highly regarded by other Instant Potters and frequently referenced on the Instant Pot Facebook group.

Just like the quick release on the Instant Pot itself, blogger Jeffrey provides a “jump to recipe” button at the top of each recipe and you should definitely use it. Recipes on the site include man-pleasers like Ram-Dom, the ramen hack from the movie Parasite; a quality Mississippi Pot Roast (AKA pulled beef) recipe; and Instant Pot Chinese Pork Tenderloin, the prep that got our attention.

There’s a manly reliance on culinary shortcuts—why use beef broth when you can use Better Than Beef Bouillon? Worcestershire Sauce and Gravy Master also make an appearance. But we were satisfied with our Chinese Pork Tenderloin, and we learned a new technique—using the Instant Pot saute setting for the “velveting” effect essential to many Chinese sauces. Check it out!
