In a small bowl, mix together the butter, minced garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon zest, and Italian seasoning.

Rub the pork loin with fine sea salt and fresh ground black pepper; then, evenly apply the butter mix all around the meat. Leave it to marinate for about 15 minutes.
4
Turn on the Sauté function on the Instant Pot and heat up the olive oil.

Sear the pork loin on all sides until it's browned; each side should take about 3 minutes.
6
Remove pork from the Instant Pot and set it aside.
7
Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

Cancel the Sauté function. Insert a trivet in the Instant Pot and place the pork on top of the trivet.

Secure the lid and pressure cook at HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes.
10
After cooking, let the pressure come down naturally for 15 minutes, then quickly release any remaining pressure.

Open the lid and check internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should read 145°F. If it's less, put the lid back on for 2-3 minutes to let residual heat finish the cooking process.

Transfer pork loin to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes before cutting. This process helps seal in the juices.
