This is the easiest Instant Pot Pork Butt recipe! No prep work, just add all of the ingredients to your pressure cooker. Warm spices like smoked paprika and cinnamon plus sweet & tangy apple cider vinegar and orange juice give the pork incredible flavor. The meat is unbelievably tender!
This tender shredded pork can be used in tacos, burritos, rice bowls and sandwiches. You can add barbecue sauce after it's cooked to make pulled pork. You can add it to a salad bowl with shredded cabbage, carrots and cucumber + your favorite salad dressing. You can serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, corn on the cob or cabbage or coleslaw. It's really versatile!
Total Instant Pot Cooking Time: 15 minutes to reach pressure + 80 minutes cooking time + 20 minutes natural release = 2 hours
The cooking liquid is really flavorful and can be served with the pork if you want. It will be very oily though - use a fat separator to remove some of the oil or use a spoon to skim oil off the top of the pot. You can also make the pork a day before eating it and put the cooking liquid in the refrigerator over night. The fat will harden on the surface and be easier to scoop off.
Searing the meat before cooking it under pressure is optional. I always sear meat before I cook it in the oven, but it's not as necessary when using a pressure cooker.
The cooked pork can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze the meat for up to 3 months in a sealed freezer bag.
