Description

Imagine tender, succulent pulled pork, infused with the smoky sweetness of barbecue. This recipe delivers that classic flavor in a fraction of the time, using the magic of pressure cooking. The pork is generously seasoned with a blend of spices, creating a rich, aromatic crust that deepens as it cooks.

A tangy barbecue-style sauce, made without added sugars, clings to every strand, creating a symphony of sweet, savory, and smoky notes. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. With minimal effort, you can transform a humble cut of pork into a culinary masterpiece.

The pressure cooker works its magic, breaking down the connective tissues and rendering the pork incredibly tender, so it practically melts in your mouth. Forget about spending hours tending to a slow cooker – this method delivers equally delicious results in a fraction of the time. The cooking process itself is a delight.

The initial searing of the seasoned pork in the pot builds layers of flavor. As it pressure cooks, the pork releases its natural juices, mingling with the spices and sauce to create a luscious, flavorful gravy. The aroma that fills your kitchen is simply irresistible, hinting at the feast to come.

Once cooked, the pork is easily shredded, revealing its juicy, tender interior. The barbecue-infused gravy coats every strand, ensuring each bite is bursting with flavor. Serve this delightful pulled pork in a variety of ways.

For a lighter meal, spoon it over fluffy cauliflower rice or pile it into crisp lettuce cups. The contrasting textures and flavors create a satisfying and refreshing experience. To elevate the meal, pair it with a creamy coleslaw or a drizzle of extra barbecue sauce.

You can also easily adapt this recipe to suit your preferences. Experiment with different spice blends or sauces to create your own signature flavor. This recipe is a blank canvas for your culinary creativity, offering endless possibilities for delicious and satisfying meals.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice the pork butt in half into two even-sized pieces. Rub the pork pieces all over with half the paprika, half the cumin, half the salt, half the garlic powder, half the onion powder, half the chili powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Make sure the seasonings are rubbed into both sides of the pork.
    2.
    Add the olive oil to the instant pot. Set to saut é and let the oil heat up. Add the pork pieces and brown on each side. You will need to do this one piece at a time. Remove the browned pork from the instant pot and set to one side. Cancel the saut é function.
    3.
    While the pork is browning, you can prepare the BBQ sauce. Add the tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, maple-flavored syrup, remaining herbs, spices, salt and pepper to a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. Feel free to adjust the quantities of the spices to suit your personal taste.
    4.
    Add the stock to the instant pot along with the BBQ sauce. Stir well to combine. You may use an alternative stock if you prefer, such as vegetable stock or a homemade bone broth.
    5.
    Return the pork pieces to the instant pot with the stock and sauce. Place the lid securely on the instant pot, ensuring the vent is set to sealing. Select high pressure and set the timer for 60 minutes. Once the cooking is complete, allow to sit and let the pressure naturally release for 20 minutes.
    6.
    When it is safe to do so, open the lid of the instant pot. Remove the pork from the instant pot and transfer to a clean board or plate. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized chunks. It should fall apart easily. Serve with some of the pan juices and your preferred Keto sides.
