Instructions

  1. Select the sauté function to preheat a 6-quart pressure cooker. When hot, pour in 1 ½ tablespoons of oil and brown half of the pork on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat the process with the other half of the oil and pork. Transfer the pork to a platter.
  2. Add ¾ cup of barbecue sauce, the soy sauce, and broth to the bowl of the pressure cooker and stir to combine. Add the browned pork and any pork juices. Lock the lid in place. Select high pressure, close the pressure release valve, and set the cooking time for 75 minutes.
  3. Allow the pressure to release naturally, which will take about 20 minutes. Remove the lid, transfer the pork to a large bowl or platter, and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat. Strain the cooking liquid, reserving ½ cup.
  4. Put the shredded pork back into the pressure cooker with the remaining ¾ cup of barbecue sauce and the reserved ½ cup of cooking liquid. Stir, then select the sauté function and bring it to a simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
