Ingredients
- 5-6 lb Pork Butt Roast
- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp. Sea Salt
- 1 tsp. Pepper
- 1 tsp. Ground Mustard
- 1 tsp. Onion Powder
- 1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
Instructions
- Trim large chunks of fat from pork roast. Then cut roast into about 4-6 smaller pieces.
- In a large bowl, add brown sugar, sea salt, pepper, ground mustard, onion powder, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Rub generously on all sides of the pork pieces.
- Set Instant Pot to saute function and add about 1 tablespoon of oil. Once it is heated, add pork chunks in a single layer and sear on each side. About 2 minutes on each side until you have a nice golden sear. Remove from Instant Pot and repeat with remaining pork chunks until they're all seared. Remove all pork from the insert.
- Add 1/2 cup chicken broth to Instant Pot to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape along bottom of insert until it is completely deglazed and no residue remains on bottom of pan.
- Return pork to the insert with the remaining chicken broth. Secure the lid, make sure the vent is sealed and set the timer for 60 minutes. When it is done cooking, use a natural pressure release for 20 minutes. Then set to quick release.
- Remove pork to a cutting board and use two forks to coarsely shred into large pieces. Use immediately or return shredded pork to pot to toss with the juice. When cool, store in refrigerator or freeze for later use.
