Ingredients

3 pound boneless pork butt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ cups beef broth
1 cup sugar free BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

First, combine all seasonings. Rub this seasoning mix all over the pork butt.
Add the olive oil to your Instant Pot. Press sauté. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned pork inside. Sear for 3 minutes on each side.
Then, press cancel. Pour the broth, BBQ sauce, and apple cider vinegar on top of the pork. Secure the lid. Move the top valve to the sealed position.
Pressure cook on high for 60 minutes. Once the timer goes off, do not touch the pot. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, carefully move the top valve to venting. Release any remaining pressure. Open the lid.
Use two forks to shred the pork. Feel free to add more BBQ sauce or serve with the sauce in the pot.

Notes

Use boneless pork butt for the best results.
If using bone-in pork, pressure cook for about 80 minutes.
Use this real-food BBQ sauce recipe!
Store the leftover pork with a little bit of juice from the pot. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
The juice from the pot is delicious!
Freeze for up to 2 months.
