2. Step by Step Instructions
3. Turn on Instant Pot and select “Saute.” Add olive oil to the cooking pot. Season pork chops with steak seasoning and brown each pork chop 2-3 minutes per side. Remove pork chops to plate while browning the others.
4. Add butter to instapot. Continue the “Saute” function and cook mushrooms, onion, and garlic for about 3 minutes until tender. Add in chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Add pork chops to instant pot and secure lid in place.
5. Select “Pressure Cook” on high level for 15-18 minutes, depending on thickness of pork chops (see above). When the cook time ends, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then do a quick release.
6. Transfer pork chops to serving dish. Make the gravy by turning the instant pot on “Saute.”
7. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch with about 1/4 cup of the hot broth from the instant pot. Pour whisked mixture into the instant pot and continue whisking until mixture bubbles and sauce thickens.
8. Whisk in heavy cream, season with more salt and pepper to taste. Pour over pork chops and serve.
