Ingredients

  • 8 pounds bone-in pork shoulder quartered and fat scored
  • 2 cups beef or chicken stock
  • 1 onion thickly sliced (Spanish)
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons bacon fat
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Cooking Instructions

  • Quarter the pulled pork shoulder, scoring the fatty layer. If you cut into the meat, don't worry about it! Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the pressure cooker over high heat with bacon fat or oil. Brown each quarter of pork for about 2 minutes per side. Set aside when browned.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high. Add sliced onion with a pinch of salt and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Return heat to high. Pour in stock and deglaze the pan. Add pork back in, secure the lid, and cook under pressure for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Release pressure according to your pressure cooker's instructions.
  • Remove pork from the cooker and shred using forks. Taste the meat for seasoning.
  • Defat the pan juices using a separator or by skimming off the fat once cooled.
  • Reheat the pan juices in the pressure cooker, reducing them by half. Add apple cider vinegar and adjust the seasoning.
  • Pour the reduced juices over the shredded pork and mix well.
  • Serve hot with your preferred sides. Enjoy your meal!
