Ingredients

This recipe yields 4 servings. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain the same. Please note that scaling the recipe may not always work perfectly.

  • 4 bone-in pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • cup butter, divided
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup baby carrots (optional, or more to taste)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 whole russet potatoes (or more to taste)

Directions

Follow these simple steps to prepare the dish:

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and have them ready for cooking.
  2. Season the pork chops: Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Brown the pork chops: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the pork chops in the hot butter for about 3 to 5 minutes per side until browned. Once browned, transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.
  4. Saut onions and carrots: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pressure cooker. Saut the chopped onion and carrots in the butter for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  5. Add liquids: Pour in the vegetable broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  6. Return pork chops: Place the browned pork chops back into the pressure cooker pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth mixture.
  7. Steam the potatoes: Set a steamer basket on top of the pork chops and place the whole russet potatoes in the basket.
  8. Pressure cook: Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker. Set the cooker to high pressure according to the manufacturers instructions and set the timer for 13 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
  9. Release pressure: Once cooking time is complete, release the pressure using the natural-release method, which may take 10 to 40 minutes.
  10. Finish the dish: Unlock the lid and remove it carefully. Slice the potatoes along their tops, then serve them alongside the pork chops and carrots.

Recipe Tip

If you dont have Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute it with steak sauce. You can also use chicken broth in place of vegetable broth for a different flavor profile.

Yes, you can substitute the pork chops with bone-in chicken thighs, boneless chicken breasts, or even beef short ribs. Adjust the cooking time based on the meat you choose—chicken will generally cook faster than pork.

If you don’t have a steamer basket, you can place the potatoes directly on top of the pork chops or use a trivet to hold them above the meat. Just ensure the potatoes are elevated to cook evenly.

To keep the pork chops tender and moist, avoid overcooking them. The natural release method of pressure cooking is ideal for this. Let the pressure cooker release pressure on its own for about 10-15 minutes after cooking to ensure the pork chops remain juicy.

Yes, you can use chicken broth, beef broth, or even a homemade broth. The flavor will vary depending on the type of broth, so feel free to experiment based on your preferences.

Absolutely! You can add more vegetables like celery, parsnips, or sweet potatoes. Just make sure they fit into the steamer basket or are placed on top of the pork chops in the pressure cooker.

If your potatoes aren't fully cooked, you can simply cook them for an additional 5-10 minutes under pressure. Alternatively, you can slice them and microwave or bake them to finish cooking.

Yes, you can use other types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. The cooking time may slightly vary depending on the size and type of potato, so adjust accordingly.

Yes, you can make this recipe using a stovetop or an oven. For stovetop, brown the pork chops and vegetables, add the broth and Worcestershire sauce, then simmer until the pork chops are tender (about 45-60 minutes). For oven cooking, brown the pork chops, then cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour.

Outstanding!! The meal was so delicious that it literally silenced the room. I made some modifications based on what ingredients I had on hand. Instead of vegetable stock, I opted for homemade chicken stock, and I substituted pork loin boneless chops, cut one inch thick. I also included a quarter cup of dry white wine and two large cloves of garlic to enhance the flavors. Since I don't use baby carrots, I roughly chopped three large carrots. As I'm not fond of potatoes in a pressure cooker, I paired the dish with garlic and chive mashed potatoes. This recipe is definitely a winner. Thank you for sharing!

I substituted commercial chicken stock for vegetable broth and opted for fresh, peeled, and chopped carrots instead of the bagged baby ones. The potato was still firm after 12 minutes under high pressure, so I recommend extending the cooking time to 15 minutes or allowing the pressure to naturally release. While the liquid with the carrots and onions was a bit thin, it was flavorful; consider enhancing it by incorporating a commercial gravy mix or a homemade flour-and-butter roux before serving. The gravy had a delightful kick from the Worcestershire Sauce and was overall delicious.
