• ½ tsp of garlic powder
• ¼ tsp of cayenne pepper
• 1½ cups of chicken broth
• 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp of liquid smoke
• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce.

Instructions

1. Prep the Pork Roast:

   • Trim any excess fat from the roast.
   • Cut the roast into four equal-sized chunks.

2. Prepare the Dry Rub:

   • In a large bowl, combine all your dry ingredients.
   • Whisk them together thoroughly.
   • Add the pork chunks to the bowl.
   • Toss and rub the mixture onto the pork until well-coated.

3. Sear the Pork:

   • Turn on your Instant Pot to the sauté setting.
   • Wait until it displays ‘Hot’.
   • Add two tablespoons of olive oil.
   • Place two pork chunks in the pot.
   • Sear each side for about two minutes.
   • Remove the seared pork and set it aside on a plate.
   • Repeat with the remaining pork chunks.

4. Deglaze the Pot:

   • After removing the pork, press ‘Cancel’ to stop sautéing.
   • Pour 1½ cups of beef broth into the pot.
   • Use a wooden spoon to scrape and deglaze the bottom of the pot, freeing any stuck bits.

5. Add Remaining Ingredients:

   • Add the remaining broth, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the pot.

6. Cook the Pork:

   • Place the pork chunks back into the liquid in the pot, spaced evenly.
   • Secure the Instant Pot lid and ensure the vent is sealed.
