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.

This is copied straight out of “The Great Big Pressure Cooker book” by Bruce Weinstein , only changed the description of cutting the pork into 2 in chunks rather than 4 pieces. :/
I know it is. Here is the quote from my post “I found this recipe in my go to pressure cooker cookbook: The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book.” I did not claim it as my own. Shared it so that people know that the cookbook has recipes that work and are delicious.
I think it had plenty of flavor, but the meat was a bit dry and rice a bit mushy. I think I wouldn’t brown the meat first so it won’t get over cooked and maybe cook the rice separate. I know that would add more time, but it would be worth it for the flavors.
Those are some great ideas!
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.
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.
I don’t really like pork tenderloin part but I believe this dish will be great! Thank you for sharing the recipe! Gotta try it soon.
Congratulations!

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?
NPR = Natural Pressure Release. In other word don’t do anything for 5 minutes.:)
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!
Ooh this looks so flavorful and delicious! I always love more ideas for using my Instant Pot!
What a yummy dish. I love all things pork.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
