Ingredients
  

  • 1.4 kg Boneless Pork Roast Cut into 3-4 inch cubes

Spice Mixture

  • 1 Tbsp Packed Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • ½ tsp Cumin
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne Optional
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Sauce

  • Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Cups Barbecue Sauce

Deglazing

  • ¼ Cup Chicken or Beef Broth

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl mix together the spice mixture ingredients.
  • Season the cubed pork with the spice mixture and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the sauce ingredients.
  • Turn your instant pot to the saute setting. Add the olive oil and allow it to get hot.
  • Add half of the cubed pork to the hot oil and saute for 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove the browned pork to a plate and repeat with the remaining half of the cubed pork.
  • Turn the instant pot off. Use the remaining ¼ cup of beef broth and a wooden spoon to deglaze (scrape the brown bits) from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add all of the meat along with the barbecue sauce mixture to the instant pot.
  • Close the lid and set to sealing.
  • Cook on manual high pressure for 40 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release.
  • Remove the meat from the instant pot and shred. Stir in the remaining cup of bbq sauce and serve on buns as desired.
  • DONE!
