What you need:

1.5 lbs. small or new potatoes sliced thin
1 onion, diced
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tsp garlic powder, divided use
1 (14 oz.) can chicken or any broth, low sodium
½ cup water
1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1 packet dry onion soup mix
2 tbsp. A1 steak sauce
4 bone-in thick cut pork chops
1 (8 oz.) container sour cream
To thicken gravy
3 tbsp. cornstarch
3 tbsp. water

 

How to make it:

Slice potatoes and dice onion. Place potatoes and diced onion into a steamer basket (that safely fits inside your Instant Pot.)

Season potatoes and onions with salt, pepper, garlic powder and gently toss to season evenly.

In the insert of a 6-quart Instant Pot, stir together broth, water, cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and steak sauce.

Season both sides of the pork chops with garlic powder and black pepper. Place pork chops into the gravy mixture (make sure they get coated with the gravy.)

Place steamer basket (with potatoes and onions) on top of pork chops.

Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set the pressure release valve to "sealing." Set on high pressure for 10 minutes.

When finished, carefully do a quick pressure release.

Remove steamer basket and set aside. Then remove pork chops and set aside.

Turn the Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Stir in sour cream (if using.)

To thicken gravy:

Stir together water and cornstarch in a small bowl and add to gravy. Whisk the mixture and allow to come to a gentle boil until gravy thickens.

Serve gravy over pork chops along with a side of potatoes.
