Slow Cooked Pork Loin
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour (or flour)
- 1.5 pounds Pork Loin (or pot roast)
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 2 cans beef broth
- Dan Pastorini’s Garlic and Herb Seasonings
- Jacobsen Garlic Salt
- ground black pepper
- 1 medium chopped Onion
- 1/4 cup minced Garlic

- Rosmary
Directions
1. Mix almond flour, corn starch, garlic salt, garlic and herb seasonings.
2. Coat the mix over the pork loin.
3. Add olive oil to the bottom of the instant pot. Set on sautée and brown the meat on all sides.
4. Remove the meat when it is browned from the instant pot.
5. Add onions, garlic, fresh herbs, banana peppers and sautée.
6. Once the onions are translucent, add 2 cans beef broth. Let it heat up some.
7. Add 1/2 cup almond flour mix (or what you had leftover) and mix.
8. Add meat (don’t forget to put the rack into the instant pot first).
9. Slow cook in the instant pot (multi-cooker) for 6-8 hours. (See Notes 2 & 3)
10. When the meat is cooked, you can thicken the juices if desired, by adding any left over almond flour and corn flour mixture.
Note 1: Nonna modified her favorite (and only) Daughter in law’s recipe. Here is the list of ingredients DIL used in stead of Nonna’s spices: Marbled Chuck Roast, flour, beef broth concentrate, garlic powder, onion powder, course grained salt, course ground black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, chipotle chili powder. Just like Nonna, her DIL doesn’t measure spices and just goes by feel!
Note 2: Make sure you read the directions on your multi-cooker (instant pot) when you use the slow cooker function. Make sure the appliance vents the steam. You do not want the pressure to build.
Note 3: As the instant pot is not pressurized, it is easy to check the meat to see if it is cooked through. Check it earlier vice later. If it is not cooked through, you can let it cook longer. Nonna’s pork loin cooked through in 6 hours 45 mins.
