"Smoked" Pulled Pork

Versatile pulled pork with good flavor.  I used bone-in, which typically gives more flavor in the cooking process (and it's cheaper), and the bones easily pulled right out.

  • 3 1/2 lbs pork carnitas meat, shoulder or butt roast
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce (I used Liquid Aminos)
  • 2 Tbsp liquid smoke
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. Quarter the pork and then place pork in bottom of Instant Pot or the slow cooker. Pour all the other ingredients over the top of the pork.
  2. For the Instant Pot: Cover and make sure valve is on “sealing.” Set the manual button for 70 minutes. When the time is up let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Release any extra pressure by gently pushing the valve to “venting.” For the Slow Cooker: cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours, or until meat is very tender.
  3. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and shred with a fork. It should be ultra tender.  You can also put the meat in a Ktichenaid bowl and use the paddle attachment to quickly shred.
  4. Serve meat plain, on sandwiches, in a salad, in a taco or however you want! If you want to add bbq sauce to make it more flavorful you can do that too.
