5-Ingredient Pork Shoulder

By:

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 lbs boneless pork shoulder
  • 1 cup Progresso™ chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 10 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  • On Instant Pot™, select SAUTE; adjust to normal. Melt butter in insert. Add pork; sear 2 to 4 minutes on all sides or until browned. Select CANCEL.
  • In small bowl, mix broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and salt. Pour over pork in insert. Secure lid; set pressure valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL; cook on high pressure 90 minutes. Select CANCEL. Keep pressure valve in SEALING position to release pressure naturally.
  • When cool enough to handle, shred pork, and toss with 1 cup of the cooking liquid; discard remaining cooking liquid.
Notes
  • This pulled pork works well stuffed into tacos or pitas, served over rice or mashed potatoes, or piled on buns.
  • Cutting the pork in several large pieces allows the meat to cook quickly and evenly in the pressure cooker.
  • When releasing pressure naturally, it’s always a good idea to set the pressure valve to VENTING after the float valve drops down, just to be sure all of the pressure has been released.
