Notes
***Note- Recipe updated 10/7/19. Keep in mind that because this is pressure-cooked - things like elevation will change the cooking time.
Some readers were saying their tenderloin wasn't ready after the 8 minute cook time. While I didn't have that issue, I have increased the time here to 14 minutes. If you have a smaller tenderloin you might want to go with 9-12 minutes. But for a larger one, 14 minutes should be fine. The key is to reach 145 degrees. If it is not done for whatever reason, just add a couple more minutes.
This can be made in the air fryer - cook at 360 degrees for 25 minutes, flip and cook another 15 minutes.
