Set the pressure cooker to the Sauté function (or use medium-high heat on a stovetop pressure cooker) and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork pieces in a single layer — work in batches if needed — and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared pieces to a plate.
