Servings: 10 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 pound pork loin/pork butt
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot to Saute.
- Add your brown sugar, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl.
- Add olive oil into your Instant Pot.
- Take your pork butt/loin and trim off the major sections of fat on the outside. You are not trying to eliminate all the fat, but extra fatty sections.
- Cut the pork in half (or thirds if they are large).
- Cover the pork in a light coating of mustard.
- Add the seasoning all over each piece of the pork.
- Sear in the Instant Pot on all sides.
- Add the chicken broth into the Instant Pot and place the cover on.
- Cook on high pressure for 1 hour, allowing natural release.
- Remove the lid and drain the excess liquid, but not all of it. You want it to still have moisture, not be dry.
- Add a bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce. Stir and taste. If more BBQ sauce is needed, add more.
- Serve on a soft hamburger bun and enjoy.
