When I was 11 years old I spent every penny of my birthday money on my first boom. It was one of those 3-disk CD and with cassette player with all sorts of buttons to increase the bass and mess with the treble. It was the first major purchase of my life, and I cherished it like nothing I’d ever owned.

When I got that massive plastic box (with two detachable side speakers I might add), I couldn’t wait to start playing with all the features, especially the ability to record radio or CD straight to a cassette. All my favs of the time, like The Spice Girls, TLC, Mariah Carey, Hootie & the Blowfish were married together in the most epic cassette tape collaboration. Some songs recorded straight from CD, others I caught on the radio JUST as they started (the timing was fate). I had loads and loads of hot mixes that made me the pre-teen queen of pop.

That miraculous feeling of placing my hands on the latest technology that would change my life happened again this Black Friday. And it’s called the Instant Pot.

I hadn’t really lusted after the Instant Pot, even though I kept hearing RAVE reviews. So why the heck did I buy it? For you guys of course! After getting tons of requests for Instant Pot recipes, I finally bit the bullet and bought one.

Do I regret it? Heck no! I do admit, the thing is pretty dang convenient. And also quite large (my kitchen space is getting smaller and smaller with every kitchen alliance purchase I make).

Buuuuut much like my 11-year-old amateur DJ experiment, there’s a bit of a learning curve to this beauty. Which is why it took me FIVE attempts to perfect this Whole30 Instant Pot teriyaki pork tenderloin. But well worth the effort – this recipe is more amazing than Toni Braxton’s dress in the music video “Unbreak my Heart”.

Whole30 Instant Pot Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

The pork is insanely flavorful, tender, unbelievable delicious, and made with just a handful of ingredients. Just let the Instant Pot do all the work, then serve this meal over cauliflower (or regular) rice, sautéed vegetables, or whatever floats your boat. The sauce is the key. The sauce is pure magic.

Just a few simple steps to dinner nirvana, and a few helpful tips when making this Whole30 Instant Pot teriyaki pork tenderloin.

1. Brown the pork tenderloin on the sauté setting for 2 minutes per side, turning three times to brown the entire loin
2. Pour the teriyaki ingredients into the pot and set it to manual for 8 minutes
3. Once the cooking time is up, let it sit (natural release) for 3 minutes, then turn the valve to release all the pressure. You’ll want the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin to be around 135-145 degrees. Let the loin sit in the pressure cooker (lid off) for a few minutes to rest. This will also help bring the temperature up if needed
4. Remove the pork tenderloin and add the arrowroot mixture to thicken the sauce. Then serve with a side of vegetables or over cauliflower rice
5. Use pork tenderloin – not a pork roast or pork loin. Tenderloin is typically a smaller that a pork loin (anywhere from one to two pounds).

And BONUS – any leftover sauce can be saved in the refrigerator and served with other protein later in the week. Killin’ two birds with one stone. Can’t beat that!
