Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 pounds Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs
- 1-½ pound Sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
- 10 ounces, fluid Canned French Onion Soup
- ¼ cups Brown sugar (light or dark)
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation
Using the Saute feature on your 6-quart or larger Instant Pot, heat the oil, season the pork with salt and pepper and brown on all sides (see notes below if your Instant Pot does not have a stir-fry function). Add sauerkraut. Combine brown sugar and French Onion Soup (undiluted) and add to Instant Pot. Seal Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before serving.
Remarks:
• If your IP does not have a stir-fry function, brown the pork in a large skillet on the stove. Place the browned pork in the PI and pour the soup into the skillet to deglaze any savory brown bits before adding it to the PI.
• Alternatively, a single recipe fits in a 9×13 casserole dish and can be baked (cover with foil and bake at 350ºF for 4 hours). Or cook in a slow cooker (6 hours on low, 12 hours on high).
• If you don’t have onion soup on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of water and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder or minced dried onion.
