Don't have a smoker but love pulled pork? That's ok, pulled pork made in an Instant Pot can be great too

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5-9 lb boneless pork shoulder
  • 4 tbsp Philly Grit Pretty Spicy or Not That Spicy
  • 2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup beer (or water)
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1 splash bourbon (optional)
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce Choose your favorite brand

Instructions

  1. Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks - approximately 2 inch cubes, trimming and discarding any of the thick fat cap

  2. Turn the Instant Pot onto sauté mode, and add the oil to the pot

  3. When oil is hot, brown the pieces of pork until browned on each side. You may have to work in batches if you are using a large piece of pork

  4. Remove all pieces of pork, and pour in the cup of beer and bourbon and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, then put pork back in the pot and add the liquid smoke

  5. Close the lid and seal the vent, and pressure cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. After pressure cooking, allow to naturally pressure release for 20 minutes, then release any remaining pressure

  6. Pull the pork apart with two forks, mix in barbecue sauce, and serve
