How to Make Instant Pot Pork Roast with Gravy
Rub the seasoning mix over the pork. Sear the pork and set aside.
Add the onions and garlic to the inner pot and cook until softened. Deglaze the pot with wine, scraping up as many of the browned bits as possible.
Pour in chicken broth and top with rosemary sprigs. Place pork roast on trivet and cook.
Add carrots and potatoes and cook again. Throw rosemary sprigs away and stir in vinegar.
Stir in cornstarch/water mixture and cook until sauce has thickened. Serve pork and vegetables topped with sauce.
Tips
- Brown sugar: The sugar can be reduced or even omitted if you prefer. The pork isn’t sweet, but the sugar does help to balance out the flavors.
- Pork roast: This recipe is made for a small, boneless pork roast. Be sure to remove any netting on your pork roast if it has any. Pork tenderloin won’t work well in this recipe and will dry out with the extended cooking time.
- Wine: If you don’t want to use wine, simply substitute an equal amount of chicken broth in place of the wine.
- Balsamic vinegar: Feel free to use more or less to taste.

This is the best recipe. I would make no changes. The spices for the rub was perfect and the wine added a richer flavor. I used Napa Valley cherry wood aged organic balsamic vinegar which made the gravy so so delicious. My company couldn’t get enough and we all ate way too much. I will Share this for sure!

I’m confused about something? I thought if you do quick release it makes the meat to dry?
It can, but it depends on the amount of liquid in the recipe. I haven’t had any issue with the QR on this recipe.
