I Googled Instant Pot Pull Pork (Pork Shoulder), and got a ton of different recipes. All of them said to pressure cook the pork for 90 minutes. All of them had some sort of spice rub and searing of the pork. All of them had a sauce. So I got flavors that David and I enjoy, and made the following:I used about a 2 Tablespoons of garlic powder, paprika, ground mustard, and about a 1/8 of a teaspoon of red pepper. About 4 Tablespoons of the BBQ seasoning as well.
Trim away as much fat as possible. Sprinkle with the dry seasoning. Coat completely.
Sear on all sides in your Instant Pot, with a bit of oil.
In the bowl where I added the seasoning to the pork, I added 1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 cup of tomato sauce, and 1/4 cup of Worcestershire. Add the sauce to the pan, and scrap the bottom gathering the bits off of the bottom. Add the pork back to the pan, and cook on Pressure Cook for 90 minutes. Manually release the pressure, and rest for 10 minutes.
Take the pork out, and reserve the sauce. Shred – this was incredibly easy – I used my slotted spoon. I added some of the juices back in.
David loves pulled pork sandwiches. So, we got some Hoagie bread, and added some bread and butter pickles to his sandwich.
David’s plate:
He added some additional BBQ sauce to his pork, and it was amazing. My plate:
Kim-chi cucumbers, homemade cheese crisps and pulled pork.
Blessings.
