Instant Pot Pulled Pork! So easy and so delicious to make! I hope you try this recipe! Tender and so flavorful. Make a sandwich, taco or throw this in a bowl of rice, on a potato or in a zucchini boat!

Don’t have an instant pot or a pressure cooker? Click here for my slow cooker pulled pork recipe.

I’ve been trying to work in some different proteins into my diet. I’ve been eating so much chicken, beef and tuna, I’m giving myself a break and making more fish and pork recipes. I threw this one together in just a few minutes and it only had to cook in the pressure cooker for 40 minutes. When you are simply setting something and are able to walk away, that’s the best! So convenient and I can do other things around the house while it’s cooking. Not only is pork super easy to make but it’s also CHEAP. So much cheaper than beef or chicken, it’s crazy. 

Instant Pot Pulled Pork

This recipe is great for meal prep. I made a big batch and we had pulled pork for 3 to 4 days! Sandwiches, wraps, tacos, over rice, garnished on a potato or used in a zucchini boat! I hope you try my recipe!

Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

For the dry rub:

  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

For the pork:

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 3 to 4 lbs. pork loin or pork shoulder cubed or cut in half*
  • 1 small onion chopped or sliced thin, optional
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

For the dry rub:

  • Combine the brown sugar, paprika, mustard powder, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork, on both sides. Let sit for about 20 minutes if possible.

For the pork:

  • Turn your instant pot on to the sauté function on high heat. After a minute or two, add the oil and add the pork and cook, turning or sautéing, until browned on both sides, for about 5 minutes. Add the onion (if using) while you are browning the pork and cook until tender.
  • Turn the sauté function off and add in the apple cider vinegar, chicken stock and Worcestershire sauce. Mix and place the lid on and turn to lock closed. Pressure cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release.
  • Carefully remove the lid and remove the pork from the instant pot and shred with two forks. If not using all of the pork right away, I like to store the pork with the liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

*pork can be cubed or simply cut in half to fit into the pressure cooker.
