Instant Pot Orange Glazed Pork Loin

Instant Pot orange glazed pork loin makes a juicy pork loin topped with a sweet orange herb glaze for the ultimate dinner recipe! Pork loin is a super versatile piece of meat. The meat itself is pretty lean, but it typically has a nice fat cap on the meat that helps to keep the meat tender while it cooks.

This Instant Pot orange glazed pork loin takes that delicious pork loin and coats it with a simple orange herb glaze. The glaze is a little sweet and tangy from the marmalade and a little herby from the thyme.

For a little bit of extra flavor and color, feel free to broil the finished pork loin for a minute or two after it has finished cooking.

How to make Instant Pot orange glazed pork loin

Pour water into the bottom of the Instant Pot inner pot. Add the pork loin fat side up.

Sprinkle the pork loin with salt and pepper. Spread the orange marmalade on the top of the pork loin.

Sprinkle the thyme and garlic powder on top of the marmalade. Pour the soy sauce into the water at the bottom of the pot.

Close and lock the lid. Turn the pressure release valve to SEALING.

Press MANUAL high pressure and adjust the time to 30 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 25 minutes after the cooking time has finished.

Turn the pressure release valve to VENTING to release any remaining pressure. Remove the pork to a cutting board, and tent with foil.

Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve the pork drizzled with the cooking liquid, if desired.

Tips

• Pork loin: Be sure to use pork loin, not pork tenderloin. Pork tenderloin would dry out in the cook time listed.
• Kosher salt: If you don’t have kosher salt, you can sub an equal amount of sea salt. Or you can use ½ teaspoon regular table salt.
• Fresh thyme: If you prefer, you can use ¼-1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
  • If you don’t like thyme, rosemary makes a great substitute in this recipe. Just use an equal amount of chopped fresh rosemary or ¼-1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary.
• Garlic powder: Be sure to use garlic powder, not garlic salt.
• Soy sauce: I like to use lite or reduced-sodium soy sauce to better control the salt level.

Serving suggestions

I like to serve this pork with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans or baked potatoes and green salad.

Storage

The pork loin will keep for up to 4 days when stored, covered, in the fridge.
