Instant Pot Pork Chops with Gravy

Ingredients
5 Pork Chops Bone in or out (6)
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
Penzeys Revolution (instead of salt, pepper, and garlic powder)
1 Envelope Ranch Dressing Mix (omitted)
1 One Ounce Envelope Brown Gravy Mix
1 10.5 Ounce Can Cream of Chicken Soup (Campbell’s cream of chicken & mushroom)
Medium onion sliced (cut slices in half)
2 Cups Beef Broth
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
2 Tablespoons Water
Instructions
Pat pork chops dry and season on both sides with the salt, garlic powder, and pepper. (Penzeys Revolution)
Add the olive oil to the instant pot and turn on to saute.  When the oil is hot brown the pork chops on each side for 2-3 minutes just until browned. (Since my instant pot is small I do this in a separate skillet - easier and faster) 
Remove the pork chops from the instant pot.
Add onions to instant pot with a drizzle with olive oil (if you browned the chops in the pot you may not need extra oil). Set instant pot to saute. Let onions cook until semi tender, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking or burning.
Pour 1/4 cup of the beef broth (this doesn't have to be exact) into the instant pot and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom of the pot.
Turn the instant pot off and add the pork chops along with the ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and remaining beef broth to the pot.
(I removed the onions from the pot to a separate bowl before deglazing the pot. Using the bowl the onions are in mix the gravy mix and soup together with the onions then gradually add the rest of the broth while stirring with a whisk. Place the chops in the pot and pour the broth mixture over the chops)
Place the lid on the pot and set the valve to sealing.  Cook on manual for 8 minutes. Allow for 10 minutes for the pot to come to pressure, 8 minutes of cook time, and 10 minutes to natural pressure release.
After 10 minutes of natural pressure release, release any remaining pressure from the pot and remove the lid.
Remove the pork chops from the pot to a serving plate.
In a small bowl whisk together the cornstarch and water.  Turn the instant pot on to saute and whisk in the cornstarch mixture.  Whisk constantly until gravy is thick, then, turn off the instant pot.
Serve the pork chops with the gravy and your favorite side dishes.
NOTE:  This recipe has been tested in a 6 quart and 8 quart Instant Pot.
