Steps:
- Pat pork loin dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and let melt. Add pork loin and cook on all sides until just a little bit of color shows, about 1 minute per side. Turn off Saute function and add cranberry sauce, sliced onion, Dijon mustard, tarragon, and dry onion mix. Gently combine and spoon some of the sauce over the pork loin.
- Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturers' instructions; set timer for 9 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Check internal temperature of the pork loin; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Temperature will continue to rise slightly after the pork loin is removed from pot.
- Place on a cutting board to allow to rest for 8 to 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices.
- While pork loin is resting, select Saute function again and stir cornstarch into sauce. Whisk until sauce thickens, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve pork loin with cranberry-Dijon sauce.

- Sprinkle the chops on both sides with salt and pepper.

PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON SAUCE
In the Burgundy region of France, home of Dijon, pork chops are traditionally served in a sauce made with mustard, cream and white wine, and there are very few pairings that are better. Richard Olney, a prominent food writer and authority on French cooking, sautéed sliced apples and chops and then baked them all together with cream and mustard dribbled on top. I prefer the method here, but you could always fry up some apples and serve them on the side. (For a dish with roots closer to Normandy than Burgundy, make the same recipe but omit the mustard, deglaze the pan with Calvados instead of wine and stir sliced sautéed Granny Smiths into the sauce itself.)

Steps:
- Melt butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper and add them, browning well, about 2 or 3 minutes a side, reducing the heat slightly if chops brown too quickly.
- Remove chops to a platter and pour off most of the fat. Add green onions or shallots and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping brown bits off the bottom. Stir in the stock and return chops to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover and cook until chops are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the chops to a warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Raise the heat and boil pan juices to reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil 2 minutes more, until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in mustard and the parsley, if using. Taste and add more mustard if desired. Immediately spoon sauce over the chops and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Brine the pork chops before cooking. Brining helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. To brine the pork chops, simply soak them in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chops from drying out. If you cook the chops over high heat, they will likely become tough and overcooked.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
Conclusion:
Pork chops with cranberry-Dijon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the cranberry-Dijon sauce is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
