Ingredients
Spice Rub Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Pulled Pork ingredients
- 3 - 4 lb boneless pork roast boston butt, pork shoulder, pork butt, trim off excess fat and cut in 3 – 4 pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup chicken stock
- 1 cup BBQ sauce plus more for serving
- 2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together all spice rub ingredients until well combined.
- Rub the pork on all sides with the spice rub.
- Pour olive oil into the Instant Pot inner pot and turn it on SAUTE mode. When the pot is hot, place the pork in the Instant Pot and brown on all sides. You may need to do this in two batches. Transfer the browned pork to a clean plate.
- Pour about half of the chicken stock into the pot and use a rubber spatula to scrape up any browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Add the rest of the broth, 1 cup barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir to combine.
- Return the pork to the Instant Pot. Close the lid. Turn the steam release valve to the ‘Sealing’ position. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook at high pressure for 60 minutes. (or about 20 minutes per pound of pork)
- When the cook time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes (just leave the Instant Pot alone). Then, quick release any remaining pressure by carefully turning the steam release valve to the venting position.
- Transfer pork to a large bowl and use two forks to shred the pork. Stir it back into the sauce. Add more BBQ sauce if necessary.
- Serve pork on burger buns topped with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.
Notes
- One of the reasons this pulled pork is so good is the spice rub! Be sure to rub it in really well with your hands and on all sides.
- If you are using 3lbs or a larger piece of meat, cut it into 3 or 4 pieces so it easily fits in your pressure cooker.
- Don't skip searing the pork. This helps it to get that deep rich flavor we all love.
- Depending on the size of the Boston Butt, adjust the cooking time accordingly by using 20 minutes per pound.
