Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 lb. boneless pork shoulder or butt cut into 4 large chunks
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 1 lb. bbq sauce approx. 1 ½ cups
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar together, then season the pork with the dry rub, making sure it’s completely coated.
- Add the olive oil to your Instant Pot, then press “saute” and set it for 5 minutes. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, then remove to a plate.
- Pour in the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Then, add the pork back in, along with the barbecue sauce.
- Place the lid on top, ensuring the valve on top is in the “seal” position. Pressure cook on high for 1 hour, then natural release for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, then use two forks to shred. Enjoy!
Notes
NOTE: the break should fall apart VERY easily; if it doesn’t put it back in and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes
