Instructions
 

  • Season pork tenderloins with steak seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in skillet, and brown the tenderloins on all sides.
  • While that is browning, mix together 2-3 chipotle chilies and orange juice using a blender or an immersion blender.
  • Set InstaPot on Sauté, and add the chilies and orange juice mixture.
  • Once the meat is browned, add to the InstaPot.
  • Sauté the onion and carrots in the skillet, and add some of the chicken broth - cook for a few minutes.
  •  Pour the remaining chicken broth into the InstaPot, and add the onion and carrot mixture.

If using a slow cooker, follow the same instructions, except cook for 6-8 hours on low heat.
Two Pork Tenderloins are usually packaged together.
