Instant Pot Pulled Pork

This pulled pork made in the IP is crazy tender and filled with the most delicious flavors! A native from Memphis, we LOVE this recipe! Super easy to make, and it can be made Whole30, too!

Recipe Makes (Approximate): 8 people

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt (according to taste)
  • 4 pounds pork shoulder roast (cut into 4 equal pieces (we used a steak ready boneless pork shoulder cut, and we cut 4 lb off the bone (small bone) and saved the rest))
  • 1 ½ - 2 cups barbecue sauce (2 for really saucy)

To Serve

  • 8 hamburger buns (split and toasted)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or as needed)
  • coleslaw

Instructions

  • Heat oil in Instant Pot over sauté mode. Add pork and brown on each side, turning. Top pork with salt and barbecue sauce.
  • Cover the ingredients and secure IP lid into the locking position. Cook on Manual High 40 minutes. Let the steam naturally release for ten minutes, then open the lid and shred (way easier to shred with two forks).
  • Turn on sauté mode to absorb barbecue sauce. Serve as desired! We served this pulled pork with hamburger buns, coleslaw, and butter. Toast buns in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about five minutes or until they have a nice golden color.

Recipe Notes

  • Be sure to cut the roast into 4 pieces. 
  • Shred the pulled pork with two forks. 
  • For Whole30, keto, paleo, or low-carb options, use compliant barbecue sauce.
