Ingredients

  • 3-4 pound boneless pork shoulder

  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut your pork shoulder into smaller pieces (around 2-3 inch cubes works best).
  2. Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mixed until well blended.
  3. Pour a little of the mixture into the instant pot, then add the pork.
  4. Pour remaining sauce mixture over the pork.
  5. Place the lid on the Instant Pot, turn the vent to Seal – and cook on manual for 75 minutes (high pressure).
  6. When cooking is complete, allow the Instant Pot to do a natural release for 10 minutes, then open the pot.
  7. Remove the pork and place in a large bowl. Shred the meat using two forks.
  8. Add the remaining sauce from the instant pot until you have the consistency you prefer.
  9. Serve with hot buttered rolls and coleslaw.
  10. Devour.

Notes

  • Add some cumin to the cooking sauce for a deeper flavor.
  • Buy or make (!) several different types of rolls for people to choose from. My favorite is my Homemade Hamburger Buns.
  • Allow people to sweeten or spice it up - use a spicy barbecue sauce, or a sweet one or make Homemade BBQ Sauce (from Dash of Herbs)!
  • Serve with fresh coleslaw, some potato chips and plenty of napkins.
