Easy Pressure Cooker Pulled Pork
Tender and delicious fall apart pulled pork made easy in the pressure cooker.
Equipment
- 1 Pressure Cooker InstaPot or the like
- 1 Tongs
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork Shoulder or Butt
- 2 cups chicken or bone broth
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- turn on pressure cooker to sear/sautee setting
- cut your pork into about .5 lb pieces
- place pieces evenly spread into the pressure cooker and allow to sear for 5 or so minutes to brown the bottom
- flip them over using tongs or a fork and sear again for 5 minutes
- as they are searing on the second side being adding your spices to the pot
- once your spices are added to the pot and both sides are seared, add the broth to the pot
- on the pressure cooker, cancel the current saute setting. Place the lid on, lock in place, and move your pressure valve to the closed position
- change your pressure cooker setting to "meat" and set cook time to 45 minutes
- once the cook time is completed carefully release the pressure valve - if you wait 5 to 10 minutes after the cook time is done there will be less pressure to release.
- remove pork pieces with tongs and place them in a large glass tupperware or serving tray. Easily shred with the tongs or two forks!
- For best results add the shredded pork to an oiled griddle or cast iron skillet on med-high heat to get it nice and crispy! About 5 minutes on each side.
- serve with tortillas for taco night or try it on pizza!
Notes
Carefully release the pressure valve when using a pressure cooker! Wait 10 minutes after cooking time for less of a pressure release, and use a towel or oven mitt to protect yourself from the hot steam.
Store in an airtight container, up to 4 days in the fridge.
