Cooking Instructions
An incredibly tender, juicy, and flavor-packed pulled pork recipe that leverages the pressure cooker to achieve slow-cooked perfection in a fraction of the time.
Instructions:
Marinate the meat: Cut the meat into 6–7 cm thick pieces. In a small bowl, mix 3 teaspoons of mustard with 4 teaspoons of white vinegar to create a smooth, thick paste. Using a pastry brush, coat all the pieces of meat thoroughly. Leave them to marinate for 1.5 hours.
Sear the meat: Once the marinating time is up, set the Instant Pot to high heat (Sauté function, without the lid) and sear each piece of meat until deeply browned—almost charred—for about 3–4 minutes per side.
Warm the broth: In the meantime, heat up the chicken broth (bouillon).
Deglaze the pot: Remove all the meat pieces from the pot and set them aside. Pour the warm chicken broth into the pot. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen all the browned bits, which are packed with flavor.
Cook: Return the meat to the liquid and add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Close the lid and lock it. Once the pot reaches pressure and begins releasing steam, lower the heat to medium and let it cook undisturbed for 2 hours.
Finish (Optional): For an optional crispy finish, transfer the meat along with the cooking liquid into a roasting pan and bake in an oven preheated to 170°C for 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce if necessary.
