Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 to 4 lbs boneless pork shoulder or butt
  • 1 tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1 large Spanish onion
  • 2 cups Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • Potato rolls or hamburger buns
Instructions
  • In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush the pork with the liquid smoke and then roll in the bowl with the spices to coat. Set aside.
  • Place the onion wedges in the Instant Pot, round sides down. Add the soda and lay the pork pieces on top of the onion.
  • Secure the lid, move the valve to the sealing position, and hit Manual or Pressure Cook on High Pressure for 60 minutes. When done, allow a 10-minute natural release, followed by a quick release.
  • Transfer the pork and onion to a mixing bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the juices from the pot and discard the rest.
  • Shred the pork and onion with a pair of forks or a hand mixer, and mix in the reserved juices and barbecue sauce before serving with some slaw in rolls or buns.
