I hope you can tell from the photos that this Instant Pot Balsamic Pork Roast was absolutely amazing because Kara and I swooned over this when we tested the recipe! For a long time now I’ve had a note to myself to try an Instant Pot version of the popular Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Roast on the blog, and we were so happy with how the Instant Pot pork roast turned out
And this pork roast recipe was so quick and easy to make in the Instant Pot! We used the same Rosemary Garlic Seasoning that I liked so much for the slow cooker version, but if you don’t want to make that mixture, just substitute any seasonings that are good with pork.
I used pork loin roast from Costco, which was inexpensive as well as being delicious, and this made eight servings for a main dish that’s perfect for a special meal!

4 Comments on “Instant Pot Balsamic Pork Roast”
I have a lot of inch thick loin chops from Butcher Box. One time I stacked four and tied them with twine (basically reassembled a roast). I roasted it and it was great. I made sure they were tightly tied. I’m going to try your recipe in my 6 qt instant pot! Tied chops are not all that dissimilar to tied boneless roast so it should work! Going to do on the 9th of Dec (don’t ya just love menu planners, LOL!) so if I hear from you after that I’ll let you know how it turns out. I received a small jar of rosemary salt in my monthly keto box and my rosemary bush is very happy to have escaped the shears.
Sounds good; I would love to hear how it works.
And lucky you to have a rosemary bush! My rosemary is under the snow.
I have made this twice and it’s hands down our favorite Instant Pot recipe. I make it with a 4 lb Pork Loin Roast and save the left over Pork for the best sandwiches♥️ I also take the left over juice and mix a corn starch slurry for the best gravy ever‼️ Your recipe has been added to my Instant Pot journal with all of the added tweaks for my 8 qt pot. I am so happy to have found you. My husband and I love your Healthy South Beach diet friendly recipes. Please keep posting♥️♥️♥️
So glad you enjoyed it. Fun hearing how you have used it.
