INSTANT POT PORK MEDALLIONS WITH APRICOT SAUCE

Pork probs are over and what I have for you today is my mother-in-law's famous Apricot-Sauced Pork Tenderloin, medallion style!

Juicy, tender mini pork chops smothered with the best Apricot Sauce you'll ever taste.

ingredients

– pork tenderloin – cumin – garlic powder – smoked paprika – ground ginger – kosher salt – black pepper – olive oil – chicken broth – apple cider or juice – honey – apple cider vinegar – dijon mustard – dried apricots – cornstarch – water

Trim excess fat and silver skin from pork tenderloin.  Cut tenderloin crosswise into 1 ½ inch thick pieces.

Flip them so the cut side is down and press down firmly with the palm of your hand to flatten them to 1 inch thick.

Place pork on a large piece of foil for easy clean up.  Combine cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ginger, salt, and pepper.

Add meat and brown top and bottom until nicely browned, about 2 – 3 minutes per side

Remove pork from the pot and set on a plate. Add apple juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, dijon, and apricots; whisk to combine.

Place pork back in the pot, setting them on top of the apricots.

Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.

Set pork on a plate.

Combine water and cornstarch.  Press saute and bring apricots and juices to a simmer.

Serve pork on a bed of mashed potatoes with a scoop of apricot sauce over top.
