Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Season pork loin with salt and black pepper. Combine chili powder, cumin, and onion powder; sprinkle on all sides of pork.
Step 2
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. Add olive oil; heat until hot. Cut pork loin in half to fit in the pot if necessary; add to pot. Cook until browned on each side, about 5 minutes total. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Pour beer into the pot and stir to deglaze while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Return pork loin to the pot. Place bay leaves on top. Pour cannellini beans, then salsa, on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 4
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, 15 to 20 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Slice pork, cut into chunks, or shred. Serve with beans.
