Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the Pork: Cut the pork into 4 pieces. In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mix all over the pork pieces.
Sear the Pork: Set the Instant Pot to "Sauté" mode and add olive oil. Once hot, sear each pork piece for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the pork and set it aside.Note: Garlic and onion powder burn quickly so watch carefully.
Deglaze the Pot: Add chicken broth and vinegar to the pot. Scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom with a wooden spoon (this adds flavor and prevents the burn warning).
Pressure Cook: Return the pork to the pot and sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Close the lid, set the valve to "Sealing," and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes.
Natural Release: Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then carefully switch to "Venting" to release any remaining pressure.
Shred the Pork: Remove the pork pieces and shred them using two forks. Discard any excess fat if desired.
Mix with Sauce: Return the shredded pork to the pot and stir it into the cooking liquid.
