Ingredients
- 5 lbs pork Use Pork Shoulder or Boston Butt (check for other cuts using the same meat - country style ribs or butt steaks for example if you can't find shoulder/butt or if those are too big)
- 1 cup broth use water if you don't have broth or see notes below.
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt more for tasting at the end
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper more for tasting at the end
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 Tbs A-1 thick and hearty variety is best, but any will work
- 2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ tsp liquid smoke Optional
- 1 bottle Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce Optional
Instructions
- Cut the pork into 2-3" even sized chunks and remove the meat from any bones that may be in the cut of meat.
- Place the meat and all of the other ingredients into the pressure cooker. (except bbq sauce, if you plan to add it)
- Place and secure the lid, set on high pressure and once the cooker reaches high pressure, cook for 25 minutes. Then allow a natural release.
- Remove the meat from the cooker and reserve the juices. Place the meat on a cutting board and shred with two forks. Put the meat into a serving dish and add back as much of the cooking liquids stirring it as you go. Add as much as it takes for the meat to be juicy.
- If you prefer pulled pork with a sauce, add the sauce while it is hot and stir. We like to add a bottle of sweet baby rays sauce at this point. Then add salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Although you remove the meat from the bones, add the bones into the pressure cooker because they add flavor to the meat as it cooks.
- Cut the meat into as even sized pieces as you can to allow for even cooking. I cut mine into chunks that fit in your hand.
- If you don't have any broth but want that added pop of flavor, you can substitute a teaspoon of broth concentrate or a bouillon cube. If you do so, cut the salt in half and then taste at the end and add salt to taste.
- The fish sauce here is for umami (adds flavor), it doesn't taste like fish and all you'll notice is great flavor.
- If you prefer a chopped bbq instead of a shredded bbq, then chop instead of shredding at the end.
- You'll want to serve your pressure cooker pulled pork with something with an acidic note like a good sharp coleslaw. It takes the edge off of the heavy meat.
- I don't recommend using actual onions and garlic here and recommend the powder instead because it mixes in better and has a predictable taste per measurement.
- If your pressure cooker is larger than 5 quarts, add another ½ cup of water/broth.
