Ingredients:

  • 6 bone-in center cut pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick
  • kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 - 24 oz jar chunky salsa

  1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Add olive oil to Instant Pot and turn on sauté setting. When oil is hot, brown pork chops 1 or 2 at a time.
  3. Cook each pork chop for about 1-2 minutes per side. Work in batches until all pork chops are browned.
