Equipment

Ingredients

1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 Tbsp brown sugar packed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
3-4 lbs boneless pork loin roast shoulder or picnic roast
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup Coke can also use Dr. Pepper or Root Beer
1 cup beef broth
BBQ sauce

Instructions

Mix together seasonings and brown sugar.
Cut pork into large pieces (approx. 8)
Add pork and seasoning mix into a zip loc bag and shake to coat. Allow to marinate for 30-60 minutes.
Add oil to Instant Pot and turn to saute. Add pork pieces and brown on all sides.
Add coke and beef broth to Instant Pot, pouring it around meat so you don't wash off seasoning.
Turn Instant Pot to manual high pressure and set time for 50 minutes. Do a 20 minute natural release.
Shred pork and add some of the liquid back in to keep it moist.
Add BBQ sauce as desired.

Notes

When browning the pork, don't overcrowd the meat. You may have to brown it in multiple batches.

If you don't have a Coca-cola handy, you can also use Dr. Pepper or Rootbeer. Do not use diet soda.

Save some of the sauce to add some back in with the meat to keep it nice and moist.

Don't use a pork tenderloin in this recipe. It is too lean and will dry out and not shred easily.
