Instant Pot Garlic Herb Pork Chops and Green Beans

My husband and I love going grocery shopping together. And sometimes my best recipes are from inspiration that we find in the grocery store. Greg picked up a package of pork sirloin boneless pork chops. They were a thick cut, probably an inch. Because I have cooked pork chops in the Instant Pot before I knew that they had a very short pressure cooking time…like 1 minute. So I picked up some green beans to go with the protein since I knew that they would also cook in about a minute. This is one thing that I always like to think through before I create an Instant Pot recipe. I like to pair foods together that have similar pressure cooking times. Otherwise some of the food would be overcooked or undercooked.

To create lots of flavor I seasoned and then browned the pork chops before I pressure cooked them. I like to use the sauté setting to brown meats. While the meat was browning I trimmed off the ends of the green beans and got out my spices. Then I added in some liquid to deglaze the pot and added in the green beans and seasonings. I ended up pressure cooking for just one minute. Then letting the pressure release naturally. The result was juicy pork chops and barely done green beans with lots of flavor.

I cooked all four pork chops in the pressure cooker and because there was a lot of meat we saved one for lunch today. I cut it up into slices and my husband took it to work to serve over salad.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?

To make Instant Pot Garlic Herb Pork Chops and Green Beans I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly.  It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top.

Description

This one pot meal can be made in minutes. The pork chops and green beans are full of rich buttery herb flavors. Serve as is for a low-carb meal or serve with your favorite starch (potatoes, rice or noodles). 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 4 thick cut pork sirloin chops
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 pound green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. When the display says HOT add in the butter. Swirl the butter around until it is melted. Season one side of the pork chops with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Lay the seasoned side down into the butter. Add as many pork chops as you can without overlapping. While the first side is browning, season the other side of the meat that is facing up. Let the pork chops brown for about 2 minutes on each side. I use tongs to flip them. Once both sides of the pork chops have been browned lay them on a plate.
  2. Add garlic into the pot and saute for 30 seconds. Add in the chicken broth and deglaze the pot.
  3. Lay the pork back into the pot. Add in the green beans. Season the green beans with basil, oregano, thyme and onion powder. Toss them a bit with a spoon.
  4. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to “sealing.” Set the manual/pressure cook button for 1 minute. When the time is up let the pressure release naturally and remove the lid when the pin drops. My pressure released in only about 4 minutes! Remove the lid and test the pork for doneness. Use an instant read thermometer* to make sure that the internal temp of the pork chops reads at least 140 degrees F.
  5. Serve pork chops with green beans. Spoon the juices in the Instant Pot over the top of the meat and veggies.

Notes

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*.

This recipe can be gluten free. Just make sure you broth doesn’t contain gluten.

    New to instant pot cooking. I’ve had it for 4 years as a gift from my daughter but it really intimidates me. I’m only cooking for my husband and me so if I cut the recipe in half does the time need to be adjusted? Also, I have the 8 quart.

    I’m new to Insta Pot. My Insta Pot never seems to release by itself. I have to release the valve myself, otherwise it goes to “keep warm” setting. What am I doing wrong? Also I seem to be missing the little top on the “valve” could that be the issue, & if it is where do I get one? Help!!!

    Would this recipe work with boneless country-style ribs? It looks great but I’m such a Instant Pot novice that everything I’ve tried to make has been overcooked. 🙁

    Reply

      Country style ribs would be good but they’ll take a lot longer cooking time than chops. I would do 20 minutes with a natural pressure release. And I wouldn’t cook the green beans at the same time, they’ll get overdone.

    While the meat came out perfectly, this had very subtle flavor so needed to season after cooking. However, we had substitutions – used tenderloin instead of chops so we cooked it longer than the 1 minute suggested for the chops, about 15m instead. We also used frozen green beans which may have had more water content and diluted the overall flavor.

    So while it didn’t come out great, it wasn’t bad; we made substitutions that affected the flavor. The next I make this, I might add some Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar to punch it up a bit and maybe some mustard. We like tenderloin better than pork chops in this household.

    Again, I think this is a good base and basic way to cook and we simply need more seasoning.

    The green beans were delicious but the pork chops were so dry and rubbery. I had such high hopes with all the great reviews but it was awful. I followed the recipe and even cut short the natural release. I have no idea how anyone’s came out tender or juicy. Good flavors but felt like eating a shoe.

    We must shop at the same Winco. I walked in today after church and the thick cut pork sirloin chops were the featured item just inside the door! I didn’t have to look for them.
    Everything was wonderful! I fixed the Instant Pot Ranch Potatoes as a side and the kids ate them up.
    I purposely make extra food for the kids school lunches. I had some meat left ( I bought an extra large package on purpose) and some beans.
    It’s almost 9 pm and I’m in the kitchen making another batch of potatoes so they can have them for lunch.
    You are a lifesaver! I’m so glad I found you and your wonderful recipes… otherwise my Instant Pot would be sitting in the cabinet. Now it never gets put away!
    Thank you!

    Made this tonight and it was very good. Since I didn’t have a full pound of green beans, I added a peeled and cut up potato to the mix, and it was so good. Also to cut the calories some, I used only 1 T. of butter and 1 T. of olive oil. Served it with a carrot salad which was a nice color contrast.

    I have some extra thick boneless pork chops from Costco (maybe 1.5 inches) Can I cook them directly from frozen and if so, how much time should I add?
    My porkchops always come out dry – no matter how I cook them – so I usually add sauce or apple sauce after cooking to make them go down easier.
    Hopefully the instapot will make them juicier!

      I made it using 12 thin pork chops and a bit over 1 lb of green beans. I did 0 for the pressure cook time and I let it release naturally but it was taking a while. It reaches 14 minutes on the lapse time and I got worried so I did a quick release. The pork chops were delicious!!! Should it have taken that long? How long did it take you?

    This recipe is absolutely delicious! Had it tonight and couldn’t wait to share our experience. Thick bone-in pork chop with fresh snap green beans. We added 1/2 tsp Kosher salt to the bean-sprinkle to liven them up.

    We gained experience from when we made this 2 days ago… not so great when I thought we needed to increase saute time and double the cooking time (even though your recipe stated you had thick chops, I poorly assumed ours were thicker). So, the learning experience was a plus!

    Great recipe. I used what I had on hand this time – thicker cut pork chops, fresh herbs, beef broth and subbed frozen riced cauliflower in for the green beans. I added an extra minute to the cooking time but it came out great! I may use a little less liquid next time since a lot came out of the cauliflower, but I cooked it all down on Sauté after removing the pork and it came out a risotto consistency. Yum!

      Lynda, from what I’ve read asparagus cooks very very quickly. I’m afraid it would be too mushy. However you could add it in after and saute it while the pork rests on a plate.

        That could work, it would take on the flavours of the herbs and such… as an alternate to asparagus, do you have any other suggestions for vegetables? Julienned carrots maybe?
