🛒 Ingredient notes
Pork loin – This recipe calls for a pork loin — which is different from a tenderloin. You can use a tenderloin but you may need to adjust cooking times, as well as reduce the filling measurements because tenderloins tend to be thinner and not hold as much filling as pork loin.
Mushrooms – I love the rich umami flavors you get from brown bella, AKA cremini mushrooms. But, you can use white button mushrooms instead, or even shiratake mushrooms. Make sure you chop up the mushrooms finely.
Shallots – Shallots lend a milder, more subtle aromatic to the dish. You can use finely chopped yellow onion instead if you don’t have a shallot.
✅ Step-by-step instructions
Saute the filling
Turn your Instant Pot to SAUTE or Ninja Foodi to SEAR/SAUTE. Press START to begin heating the pressure cooker.
- Add the olive oil to the pot. Add the bacon slices and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté with the bacon for 1 more minute.
- Add the garlic, shallots, and rosemary and sauté for 1 more minute.
4. STOP the SAUTE function and transfer the filling mixture into a bowl or onto a plate; set aside.
5. Pour some of the water into the bottom of the pot and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the pot. Be sure to scrape up any brown bits that might have stuck to the pot. Pour the remaining water into the pot.
Butterfly and stuff the pork
6. Using a sharp large knife, slice the pork horizontally along the long side, cutting almost to the center of the meat. Then carefully continue cutting to the other side, unrolling the pork as you cut (watch the video to see how to butterfly a pork loin).
7. Lay the butterflied pork loin flat on the cutting board. If it is thicker than ½ inch, cover with plastic wrap and pound it thinner with a mallet, rolling pin, or potato masher until the meat is about ½-inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap.
8. Spread the mustard across the pork. Then sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly across the pork.
9. Spoon the bacon mushroom filling mixture evenly across the pork.
10. Working from one longest side to the other, very carefully roll the pork up to the end.
11. Secure the seams with toothpicks or use kitchen string to tie and hold the rolled and stuffed pork loin together.
12. Place a rack into the pot and spray with cooking spray. Place the stuffed pork loin onto the rack.
13. Assemble the pressure lid, making sure the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position. Select PRESSURE (or MANUAL on some Instant Pots) and set it to HI. Set the time for 20 minutes, and start.
14. When the cooking is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, quick release the remaining pressure by moving the pressure release valve to the VENT position. Carefully remove the lid when the unit has finished releasing all pressure and the knob is all the way down.
Cooking is complete when the internal temperature of the meat reads at least 145°F on a food thermometer.
Make the gravy
15. Remove the pork loin and the rack from the Instant Pot. Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE in HI. Add the ¼ cup flour to the pan drippings inside the Instant Pot and whisk until smooth and thick.
Optional: add some chicken stock if your gravy is too thick and needs to be thinned out. Season with black pepper if desired.
👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
Pork loin tends to be wider than tenderloin, making it a better size for stuffed pork. However, you can try this with pork tenderloin instead. You may need to adjust the filling amounts to account for the smaller surface, and you’ll need to adjust the cook times as well.
Allow the meat to cool at room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
🍳 Kitchen tools and equipment
You will need an electric pressure cooker for this recipe. I love my 8-quart Ninja Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer. But I also have the 8-quart Instant Pot Duo 9-in-1 Pressure Cooker, and also use that for this recipe.
Do NOT attempt to make this in a small 3-quart or 4-quart electric pressure cooker.
🍽 Serving ideas
This stuffed pork loin is a delicious family dinner idea and goes well with so many side dishes. We have two pressure cookers (our Ninja Foodi and our Instant Pot), so we like to make these Instant Pot Garlic Mashed Potatoes or Instant Pot Garlic Rice while the pork cooks.,
Balance out your family dinner with vegetable side dishes like Air Fryer Broccoli, Grilled Asparagus, or Roasted Rosemary Grilled Carrots.
🍷 Best wine pairings
Pork dishes are delicious with both white and red wines.
If you prefer white, try a Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, or a dry Riesling.
If you prefer red, go for a lighter bodied red wine. A Pinot Noir or Gamay would pair beautifully with this stuffed pork loin!

This recipe was an absolute hit with my in-laws! The instant pot cut down the cook time so much and it left me with more time to mingle and less time in the kitchen. The presentation was beautiful and the sauce made from the pan drippings everyone could have basically drank it was so delicious!
