Ingredients

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Instructions 

  • First, turn Instant Pot to sauté mode and set timer to 8 minutes.
  • Then, add olive oil and pork to the pot.
  • Sear on one side for 4 minutes. Then flip and sear another 4 minutes.
  • Press cancel. Add in all remaining ingredients except BBQ sauce.
  • Secure lid. Select pressure cook and set timer to 60 minutes.
  • Instant Pot usually takes 10 to 15 minutes to build pressure.
  • Once timer goes off, let natural release for 10 minutes. Then, use oven mitt to carefully move valve over to Vent.
  • Release the rest of the pressure.
  • Open lid carefully with oven mitts and discard all but ¼ cup of the liquid inside pot.
  • Using two forks, shred pork and mix in BBQ sauce.
  • Finally, serve.

Notes

  • For Whole30, use a Whole30 BBQ sauce.  My two favorites are Primal Kitchen Foods and The New Primal.
  • Searing the pork on both sides is optional, but gives the pork some nice color and texture.
  • Chicken broth can be replaced with beef broth or even water if needed.
  • Pork is done when it is easily pulled apart with two forks.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
