How do I make tender pork chops?

Add your pork chops and ranch seasoning to a bag and shake to coat. Turn the Instant Pot to the saute function and add the olive oil and pork chops. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side and remove.
Place the butter, garlic and onion inside the Instant Pot. Saute until onions are soft. Add the beef broth and deglaze the bottom of the pan. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and mustard and add the pork chops back to the Instant Pot.
Cook for 6 minutes and allow the Instant Pot to release the pressure for 10 minutes.

Tips for the best Instant Pot Pork

If you are wanting your gravy to be thicker, there are two different thickening agents you can use. You can use corn starch, but if you are strict keto, you can also use xantham gum.
Do not release the pressure inside of the pressure cooker- allow the Instant Pot to do so.
Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan when you are adding in your beef broth.
You do not have to thicken the gravy- it’s totally optional!

How to Store and Reheat Sour Cream Pork Chops

What should I serve with these Instant Pot Pork Chops?

I served these with Keto Mashed Cauliflower and steamed broccoli and it was fantastic! I also think this meal would be delicious with a Simple Arugula Salad or a Wedge Salad. Cauliflower Risotto, Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts or Zucchini Fritters would also be delicious. Pair with a Sugar Free Strawberry Rose Limeade and Keto Zucchini Bread for dessert!
