Introduction
A quick and easy way to make pulled pork using an Instant Pot pressure cooker. While it lacks the traditional bark and deep smoky flavor of smoked pork butt, it produces tender, juicy shredded meat in a fraction of the time.
Step 1
Cut the pork butt into smaller, evenly-sized pieces so that they fit into the Instant Pot. Leave the bone in one of the pieces to maximize flavor during cooking.
Step 2
Generously season all exposed sides of the cut pork pieces with the BBQ rub.
Step 3
Turn on the Instant Pot's Sauté feature, add a splash of olive oil, and sear the seasoned pork pieces on all sides.
Step 4
Pour in 1 cup of beef broth. In a measuring cup, mix another 3/4 cup of beef broth with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce, pour it into the pot, and drizzle a bit of extra BBQ sauce over the top of the pork.
Step 5
Close and lock the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the steam release valve is set to sealed. Select High Pressure Cook and set the timer for 1 hour and 20 minutes (80 minutes).

Important Notes
This recipe is great for quick weeknight meals, tacos, pozole, or sandwiches where the pork is heavily sauced.
The meat closest to the bone may remain slightly tough compared to the other pieces. If you want maximum tenderness, you can cook it for slightly longer or remove the bone entirely before cooking.
Venting the pressure cooker can release a lot of steam and juices. Place a damp cloth or sponge over the steam valve to manage the mess.
