Instant Pot Pulled Pork

Step 1

Trim fat from pork roast and cut into 4 same size chunks.

Step 2

Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk together. Add pork chunks to rub mix and coat well.

Step 3

Add 2 tbs olive oil to Instant Pot and set to sauté. Once it indicates hot, add the pork, but do not crowd.

Step 4

Sear on each side for about 3-5 minutes each, until golden brown. Remove pork and set aside on a plate. Repeat with remaining pork pieces, as needed.

Once pork is seared and removed from pot, press cancel and add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon and deglaze the bottom of the pot. Make sure to scrape up all the bits. Then add remaining chicken broth.
