Pressure Cooker Pork Tenderloin

Pressure Cooker Pork Tenderloin features a citrusy cilantro-lime marinade that infuses the meat with bright, herbal notes and a hint of heat from red pepper flakes. It’s finished in a lemon-kissed broth for tender, juicy slices with tangy depth—ideal for a weeknight dinner or a light weekend centerpiece with rice, veggies, or tortillas.
