2.Rub this mixture over the tenderloin and set aside

5.Add the tenderloin to the Ninja Foodi
6.Cover, seal and set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes-set valve to “seal”
7.When timer ends, natural release pressure for 10 minutes and then quick release remaining pressure. Next, remove tenderloin from Ninja Foodi and set aside

Does the tenderloin go directly in the liquid or on the rack? I made this once before and it was superb but don’t recall whether I used the rack or not.
TheTastyTravelers
The tenderloin goes directly into the Ninja Foodi insert pot. There is no need to use a rack. 🙂

What is balsamic glaze?
TheTastyTravelers
Balsamic glaze is a thicker version of balsamic vinegar. It’s sold at most grocery stores. It’s more syrupy and sweeter than just vinegar. I use something similar to this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Balsamic-Glaze-Orlando-8-5-fl-oz/872635489

Very easy and good but I’d agree half the garlic–I used garlic powder. Also I found the cooking time to be a bit short. Next time I think I’d cook it in the pressure cooker for 10 mins rather than 5. We ended up slicing the roast and it was raw in the middle so we sliced the whole thing and put it in the pressure cooker for 3 mins and turned it and 3 mins more and it was perfect.
Thanks good, easy recipe.

Your recipe says tenderloin. Picture shows pork loin. There is a big difference between the two. Please clarify. Thank you.
TheTastyTravelers
Hi Fran! This recipe is for pork tenderloin. I’ve made it several times, and always buy pork tenderloin for it. It looks like we did use a very small pork loin when we took the pictures, however. I’ll update that next time I make it. Apologies for the confusion.

I saw two 1/8th cups of honey. Should it be one?
TheTastyTravelers
Oh goodness. That’s a typo. It should be 1/8 cup of honey…only once. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll update the post!

I made this tonight – it was super easy and fast. It was a little over the top on garlic (I only used 1/2 the recipe amount), but overall it was delicious. I will definitely make it again, but will reduce the garlic even more. The gravy was over the top.
