Instant Pot Shredded Pork
Servings: 5 pounds
Ingredients
- 5 lb pork shoulder, trimmed of fat
- 1 Tbsp oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 12 oz beer of choice, lager preferred
Instructions
- Trim pork shoulder of any excess fat. Cut into 6 equal-sized pieces. Combine spices and rub pieces of pork.
- Set Instant Pot to sauté function. Drizzle olive oil in the pan, and brown each piece of pork. You won't be able to fit them all in at one time, so be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Once each piece has been browned, turn the sauté function off. Return all pieces of pork to the pan. Pour beer over the pork, place the lid on the Instant Pot, and set to high pressure. Cook for 40 minutes.
- Carefully release the pressure by flipping the vent to release for 20 minutes.
- Remove the lid and remove pieces of pork to a large bowl. Shred the meat, ladling in reserved liquid as needed to keep the pork moist.
