These Instant Pot pork chops are so easy to make, and take less than half an hour. They're packed with flavor from ranch seasoning and Worcestire sauce, and they're tender and juicy.
Place the pork chops and ranch seasoning in a large plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat.
Turn on the sauté function on the Instant Pot. Add the olive oil and carefully place the pork chops in the base of the pressure cooker. If there is any seasoning left in the bag then sprinkle it over the chops. Allow the chops to sear 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the prok from the pressure cooker.
Add the butter, garlic and onion. Sauté until the onions are soft, then add the beef broth to deglaze the pan. Be sure to scrape up all the little brown bits that have stuck to the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Add the pork chops back to the Instant Pot.
Close the lid and and set the cook time to 6 minutes. When the cooking cycle has ended allow the machine to manually release the pressure for 10 minutes.
Remove the pork chops from the Instant Pot. Let the gravy to cool slightly so it doesn't curdle, then add the sour cream and stir until smooth.

Cook until the sauce is the desired thickness, then turn off the Instant Pot and add the pork chops.
