Rub tenderloin with honey, mustard and sprinkle with salt.
Melt butter in the Instant Pot on the sauté feature, then brown the meat for about 3 minutes per side then transfer to a plate.
Pour chicken broth to the bottom of the pot and scrape up brown bits, then shut off Instant Pot.
Put a trivet in, then place the tenderloin on top. Turn on HIGH or MANUAL (depending on your machine) and cook for 5 minute with a 10 minute natural release time.
Ensure the pork is cooked to 145F, then allow it to rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes.
If desired, remove trivet and thicken sauce on the sauté feature.

Sauté First: Browning the pork creates a beautiful crust and adds flavor to the sauce.
Deglaze the Pot: Scraping up the little bits on the bottom prevents a burn notice and builds flavor.
Check the Thickest Part: Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the pork reaches the correct internal temperature (pork can be a little pink).
Rest Before Slicing: Allow the pork to rest so the juices redistribute for the juiciest slices.
Room Temperature: Letting the pork rest at room temperature briefly before cooking helps it brown more evenly.
Refrigerator: Store leftover pork tenderloin in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer: Freeze sliced pork with sauce or individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a little broth to keep it moist.
