Ingredients:

3 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast
1.6 ounces package BBQ pulled pork seasoning mix
1 tablespoon avocado oil
½ cup tomato sauce
½ cup dark brown sugar packed
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
Optional garnishes: barbecue sauce pickles, coleslaw
Buns and potato chips for serving optional

Directions:

Use a sharp knife and a cutting board to cut the pork into 3-4 large pieces and trim off any large pieces of fat.

Place the pork shoulder on a large plate and rub in the seasoning mix onto it, evenly on all sides.

Heat the avocado oil in the instant pot using the saute function and then sear the pork on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. You don’t need to cook it long, just enough to give it some color and flavor.

Turn off the instant pot and whisk together the tomato sauce, dark brown sugar and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl.

Pour the sauce over the pork and then put on the lid and seal the instant pot.

Cook using the meat/stew function for 60 minutes or until the pork easily pulls apart.
Once the pork has finished cooking, release the steam using the quick release function and pull apart the pork on a large plate, using two forks or a fork and a large prong.

Mix the pork back into the sauce and serve on buns, optional.
