Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 large Vidalia onion sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4-6 pounds boneless pork butt or shoulder
- ¾ cup chicken broth or stock
- ¾ cup cider vinegar
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
- ½ teaspoons dry mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Rinse pork roast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Slice into 4-6 smaller pieces as needed to fit into Instant Pot.
- Place onions in Instant Pot. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, kosher salt and pepper; mix thoroughly. Rub mixture all over roast pieces and place the roast on top of the onions. Add the chicken broth or stock to the pot.
- In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, red pepper flakes, sugar, mustard, garlic salt and cayenne pepper; whisk to combine. Drizzle about 1/2 of vinegar mixture over roast. Cover and refrigerate remaining vinegar mixture.
- Lock Instant Pot lid, making sure the pressure valve is closed; cook on high pressure for 70 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally; this will take around 20 minutes.
- Remove meat and onions; drain. Chop or shred meat and onions. Serve with remaining vinegar mixture or your favorite barbecue sauce.
