Notes
**The potato starch is optional. It can be used for dredging or for after pressure release (as a slurry), or not at all.If the pork is over cooked, it means that your seared the tenderloin too long before closing the lid to pressure cook. Next time, just sear for less time. :)If pork is too pink for your liking, place slices into the hot sauce in the pressure cooker, which will slowly cook it more.
