One of my favourite recipes…
To keep you busy until you’re able to visit me in the Teaching Kitchen,
try this gluten-free / dairy-free, Paleo, and/or AIP recipe that is part of my weekly repertoire.
Pork Tenderloin & Balsamic-Maple Sauce
Make this in a pressure cooker (or the Instant Pot),
and you can simply put your feet up!
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin
- garlic powder
- olive oil
==================
- 4 Tbsp GF soy sauce or tamari
(use coconut aminos for Paleo or AIP) - 4 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup water

- In a large dish, coat your tenderloin with a good layer of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.
- In a hot frying pan (or in “sauté” mode on your Instant Pot) sauté your meat, browning it on all sides.
- Not turn your pressure cooker to high pressure and set for 22-25 minutes.
- Allow the pressure to dissipate naturally for 5 minutes and then remove the tenderloin from the pot and set aside.
- In a small jar, combine 1 Tbsp tapioca starch and 1 Tbsp cold water. Cover and shake to combine and form a “slurry”.
- Return to “sauté” mode (or put liquid in a small pot over medium heat on the stove). Add the slurry and stir constantly to thicken.
- Slice your meat, pouring a bit of sauce overtop, and keeping some for a pitcher to be added as desired.
