Ingredients
Pulled Pork
- 3-4 pound pork roast shoulder or butt, cut into 4 chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
Pork Dry Rub
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1-2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes depending on taste
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Add the spices for the dry rub spices to a large bowl and whisk together. Or use your favorite store bought pork rub.
- Cut the pork into 3 or 4 pieces and add them to the bowl. Toss the pork until it is well coated with the spices.
- Turn Instant Pot to the saute setting and add olive oil. Let it heat for about 2 minutes.
- Add the pork to the Instant Pot and brown it on all sides, about 2 minutes for each side. Brown the pork in batches if you need to. Once all the pieces of pork are browned take them out and set them aside for a few minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot, scrapping with a wooden spoon. Remove any bits of pork that are stuck to the bottom. This makes it less likelly you will get a Burn error from the Instant Pot.
- Add the apple cider vinegar to the Instant Pot and mix it with the chicken broth. Return the chunks of pork to the pot and put the lid on, making sure the seal is in place and pressure valve is closed.
- Set the Instant Pot on Manual, high pressure for 60 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for it to reach pressure. Once it is done let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Then you canmanually release any remaining pressure.
- Remove pork to a large platter or bowl and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Shred it with 2 forks or with meat claws.
Notes
- You can use Dr Pepper or rootbeer instead of chicken broth as the cooking liquid. If you use soda you can skip the apple cider vinegar.
