Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin with Black Beans and Coconut Rice
Just like pizza and popcorn, rice and beans is something that I could easily eat every day. It’s so homey and comforting. Simple, classic food. I used to make it by slow cooking beans all day and then cooking rice and serving the beans on top of the rice. Since I got an Instant Pot, though any electric pressure cooker can be used, I’ve fallen even more in love with rice and beans.

This Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin with Black Beans and Coconut Rice all cooked together in one pot. So, the flavors mingled perfectly. An electric pressure cooker seems to infuse every single ingredient with all of the spices and flavorings used. Things taste like they’ve cooked all day, without having that cooked all day tiredness that they can get.
This dinner can be on your table in less than an hour. You simply brown the pork, saute the leeks and chiles with spices, add everything to the pot and cook at high pressure for 15 minutes. While it’s coming up to pressure, you have time to make a side salad and even enjoy a glass of wine. The electric pressure cooker makes it so easy. I found this recipe in my go to pressure cooker cookbook: The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book.

Prep for this recipe was great and I had high hopes for it. In the end, it lacked flavor and was all pretty much gray in color. Sadly, I won’t be adding this to my Instant Pot favorites.
Pam Greer says
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. I need to make this again and see if I need to change it up a bit.

What does “Use NPR for 5 minutes” mean, Pam? Also, I’ve never bought coconut milk (I know!!), but I’m assuming it’s unsweetened?

Oh yum! This looks super delicious! I don’t have an instant pot yet, but I’ve been pinning recipes to a folder for when I do!

I love one pot meals, and have yet to try cooking rice with the rest of the food in my Instant Pot. Definitely adding your Instant Pot pork tenderloin to my meal rotation. Love the coconut milk in it!
