Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger.
  2. Place pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot and pour the teriyaki sauce over it. Secure the lid and set the vent to the sealing position.
  3. Select the Meat/Stew setting and set the timer for 25 minutes on high pressure.
  4. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then switch the vent to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.

  6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
  7. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. Slice the pork tenderloin and pour the thickened teriyaki sauce over the slices.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
