Recipe FAQs
Most likely, you may have overcooked the pork chops. Be sure to leave them in the Instant Pot for the recommended cooking time to avoid overcooking them.
Buying bone-in pork chops typically results in a juicier cut of meat that will not dry out while cooking it. Browning the pork before cooking also helps absorb the juices, which will stay in while cooking instead of releasing into the pot, so I do not recommend skipping this step.
Also, be sure to season the pork with salt and pepper. The salt will help tenderize the meat.
If the pork chops are frozen, it will take longer to cook, so I recommend defrosting them first. However, if you cannot do this, skip the browning step and add 5 minutes to the cooking time. Please note that the Instant Pot will take longer to come to pressure with the frozen pork chops.

Instant Pot Pork Chops With Gravy
Ingredients
PORK CHOPS:
- 4 thick-cut Pork Chops
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter

- 1 medium yellow onion sliced
- 2 cups button or baby Bella mushrooms sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 ¼ cup cream of mushroom soup homemade or canned
FOR THE GRAVY:
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 Tablespoons water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
BROWN PORK CHOPS:
- Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Set the Instant Pot to saute setting. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and heat oil. Place pork chops in a single layer and brown the pork chops on all sides. They should be golden brown. Transfer to a plate, and set the pork chops aside.
SAUTE VEGETABLES:
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, the onions, mushrooms, and garlic, and saute 2-3 minutes until the onions are tender and translucent.

- Stir in beef broth and cream of mushroom soup. Add the pork chops back to the pot.
- Set the Instant Pot to PRESSURE COOK (on high pressure) or MANUAL for 12 minutes.
- Once the cooking time ends, let the pot naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Then move the valve to “venting” to release the remaining pressure. The internal temperature of the meat should be no less than 145 degrees F.
MAKE GRAVY:
- Remove the lid and transfer pork chops to a plate and cover them with foil.
- Set the Instant Pot back to SAUTE mode and bring the liquid in the pot to a boil,
- In a small bowl, make a cornstarch slurry by stirring together water and cornstarch until combined.
- Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the gravy until it thickens. Make sure you scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot while you whisk.
- Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper.
