Ingredients
For the Spice Rub
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Pulled Pork
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pounds pork butt roast trimmed
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ½ cup barbecue sauce plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix all spice rub ingredients together.
- Cut pork butt roast into 2 equally sized pieces. Rub the spice mix all over each piece of pork until coated all over.
- Set your instant pot to "Saute" mode. Add olive oil.
- When olive oil is heated, add one pork piece to the pot and sear for about 3 minutes on each side. Then remove from the pot. Repeat with the second piece of pork.
- Add chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce (optional) to the instant pot. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any burned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the barbecue sauce and stir. Add all of the pork pieces.
- Cover the instant pot, set the lid to "Sealing", and press the "Manual" button. Set the timer for 60 minutes.
- Once the timer goes off, turn the instant pot off and let it naturally release for 20 minutes. Then do a quick release.
- Take the pork out of the pot and shred it using two forks. The pork should shred easily. Return the shredded pork to the pot and stir it around in the juices. Serve immediately. You can add more barbecue sauce if desired.
Notes
- Instant Pot Note: We use a 6-quart Instant Pot brand pressure cooker that we bought in 2016. Different or newer versions may be more sensitive to the "BURN" notice. If you are concerned about the burn notice, here are some tips from America's Test Kitchen.
