I have made pulled pork in the past and it NEVER tasted this flavorful. It fell apart so easily and tasted DELISH! Pulled Pork is perfect for Super Bowl football parties, when you have company or just because you want some comfort food!
Ingredients
- 1 Pork Shoulder {we used 4.3 pounds}
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Dry Rub
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (most people like to only use 1/2 teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Barbeque Sauce:
- Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce 28 ounce {our favorite!}
- 1 1/2 cups Water
Instructions
- Cut your pork shoulder into large pieces. { I had about 6 parts}
- Make your Dry Rub and rub it real good into both sides of the meat.
- Set "Saute" on your Instant Pot and ADD 2 tbsp of oil
- Add meat to brown all sides (3 minutes a side works very well)
- Mix 1 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce,
- Once all pork has been browned, remove the meat from your Instant Pot
- Add mixture of water and BBQ sauce to Instant Pot to deglaze bottom of pot. {Use wooden spoon to scrape bottom of Instant Pot}
- Add pork back into Instant Pot
- Lock lid and set venting to "Sealing" on Instant Pot
- Choose the "Manuel" setting and set to 60 minutes
- Wait for pressure to build up {you should see the pressure pin pop up after a few minutes}
- After 60 minutes of pressure cooking, carefully release pressure to "Venting"
- Use forks or tongs to pull apart all pork {should be super tender and fall apart}
- You can either serve or place the pulled pork back in the juices for a bit while you get everything else ready! You can use the rest of the BBQ sauce but we found that we really didn't need it!
