Instant Pot Pulled Pork

When it comes to pulled pork, pork butt roast is one of my favorite meats to work with. But if you’d rather, you can use a pork loin roast instead. I know a lot of people worry about how to make a tender pork roast, but trust me, if you use the right method and ingredients, it always turns out great!

If you want to make it even better and have a little extra time, add your rub to your pork roast and let it sit for 30 to 60 minutes before cooking. This will give you maximum flavor. However, when I make pulled pork in my crockpot, I don’t need to marinate it because all of the delicious flavors have hours to come together. But marinating is a must if you’re using an instant pot.

Next, I heat some oil in my Instant Pot and sear the pork in batches until it’s browned on all sides. Remember that it doesn’t need to be fully cooked at this point.

I like to use 1 1/2 cups of beef broth to clean the bottom of my Instant Pot, so I don’t get the scary “burn” message when I’m cooking. Pour the broth into the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape off all the delicious brown bits to deglaze. This gives not only your meat more flavor but also seasons it as it cooks.

Once you’ve done that, put everything in your instant pot, close the lid and turn the valve to the sealing position, and cook for 50 minutes as directed. After the cooking time is up, let the instant pot release pressure on its own for 10 minutes. After that, you can use the quick-release button. And voila! Every time, pulled pork that is perfectly tender and full of flavor.
