Ingredients

  • 4 pounds pork shoulder
  • 1 cup low sodium beef stock
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce I used a tangy mustard based Carolina sauce
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Onion
  • 1/3 cup BBQ seasoning, below

BBQ Seasoning (makes about 2/3 cups)

  • 1/4 cup unrefined sugar brown sugar good too
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon ground coffee optional

Instructions

  • Cube pork into 1" pieces and coat with BBQ seasoning (save any excess). In a cast iron pan over medium pan, brown pork in batches.
  • Once pork is browned, add to Instant Pot* along with the stock, BBQ sauce, vinegar, extra rub, and onion (sliced thin). Cook on high for 4 hours or until tender. Alternatively, pressure cook for 45 minutes or until fork tender. Serve piled high on a nice roll with some coleslaw and pickles for maximum awesomeness!

Notes

*I love my Ninja Foodi, which does everything you could want and is very reasonable on Amazon. Snag one here!
