Ingredients:

• 3-4 lbs pork shoulder boneless and fat trimmed off
• 2 teaspoons kosher sea salt
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups Baste BBQ Sauce ( Our Favorite for this Recipe is the TANGY!!!)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions:

• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and oregano.
• Rub the seasoning mix over the pork.
• Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot and set to SAUTE.
• Once the oil has heated, add the pork and brown on all sides, about 3- 5 minutes per side.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the Sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
• Reserve a 1/2 cup and then pour the remaining sauce over the pork.
• Add the chicken broth and PRESSURE COOK on HIGH for 45 minutes.
• Do a natural release for 10 minutes, then turn valve to the vent position. Once float valve has dropped, remove lid.
• Transfer pork to a bowl and use two forks to shred into small chunks.
• (Optionally, you can then transfer pork to a baking sheet and broil for 8 - 10 minutes, or until golden brown).
• Add the reserved sauce to the pork and mix to combine.
• Use your favorite bun for sandwiches.
