How to Make Easy Honey Pork Steaks in an Electric Pressure Cooker
Aunt Lou here.
Picture it. Your house. A crazy weeknight. (Any Golden Girls fans out there? Sophia’s stories always crack me up.) Anyway, so you’ve had a long day and your family still want dinner on the table. All you want is something easy that they will actually eat. Remember this recipe folks. It is simple, delicious and fast. Aka just what you need! (Wanna cRock this recipe? You can find it here.)
Easy Instant Pot Honey Pork Steaks Notes:
- The purpose of the trivet is to keep your meat off the bottom so it doesn’t burn on the bottom, but still lets the meat cook in the ingredients without the need for a bowl since this recipe wouldn’t fit in the bowl I use in my Instant Pot.
- It takes a bit for the sauce to thicken. Be patient, but also remember that it gets thicker as it cools.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.

This is absolutely delicious! Only thing I did different was add more seasonings to the steak and cooked cubed potatoes above the steaks on a higher trivet in a steam basket. Definitely a keeper thank you.
Yay! I’m so glad to hear you enjoy this recipe! Thanks for letting us know. It makes our day.
My family loved this😋 I was a little skeptical about the whole cup of honey. But it turned out to be yummy. Will make again. Thanks for putting this on the site. It’s great when a recipe turns out right.
I’m so glad you and your family loved this! Thanks for letting us know. It makes our day.
This looks delicious! Is there a crockpot version?
Absolutely! You can find it here: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/easy-honey-pork-steaks/. Enjoy!
I made them, and they were so tender and tasty! Thanks for the recipe!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for taking the time to let us know, it really makes our day.
My husband just made this. Yum yum yum. Tastes just like BBQ ribs but with a whole lot of meat. Bone in pork steak is 99 cents per lb at this time. What a bargain! FYI: husband used commercial BBQ sauces. Half Carolina for some vinegar and sweet baby ray for sweet because that’s what we like. Traveling to Missouri for my in-laws anniversary and we will be making this. We loved it. Thank you for thinking out of the box to have ribs without the cost!
I’m so glad you guys enjoyed this recipe so much! I hope your in laws enjoy it just as much you do!
I tried making this, followed exact instructions but the pork steaks don’t get nicely browned like the picture and the fat does not look cooked, the sauce is also not this colour but a pale yellow colour, not nice and rich like the photo… was really disappointed, had to put the steaks in the oven to crisp off and try adding other ingredients to the sauce to make it edible 🙁
I’m so sorry you didn’t like this recipe K Stark. I’m not sure why yours turned out differently unless it is a difference in elevation. It sounds like at your elevation it may need more time. As for the color, I don’t know why it would have been a different color unless it was the difference in the honey.
We realize that every recipe won’t be everyone’s cup of tea and hope that you can find one that you enjoy in our over 1000 recipes!

Hi don’t you have to add water to the pot I have a 8 qt instapot
Hi Shari!
I made this in a 6 quart Instant Pot, so the 12 oz of cola was more than the 1 cup of liquid needed to bring it to pressure. I have not tried this with an 8 quart Instant Pot. I think the 12 oz would be enough to bring it to pressure, but you know your specific Instant Pot. If you feel it needs a little more liquid, I would make the extra liquid cola instead of water so that the recipe doesn’t get too watered down. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
