Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup olive oil
One 5-pound pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 large onion, quartered
3 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups bottled barbecue sauce, such as Head Country
24 soft hamburger buns
Pickled Jalapenos and Onions, recipe follows
3 jalapenos, sliced
1 large red onion, sliced into half-moons
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat an electric pressure cooker on the saute mode. When hot, add half of the olive oil. Add half of the pork along with half of the salt, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Saute until the meat is very crisp and brown, about 10 minutes. Set the meat aside on a plate. Add the remaining olive oil, meat, salt, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and cook until the meat is crisp and brown, another 10 minutes.
  • Add the first half of the meat back to the pressure cooker. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on manual for 40 minutes.
  • After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 15 minutes, release the rest of the steam using quick release.
  • Remove the lid from the pressure cooker. Remove the pork and onions to a baking sheet. Shred the pork with 2 forks, pour over the barbecue sauce and toss to coat. Serve with the buns and Pickled Jalapenos and Onions.
  • If not serving right away, transfer to a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum pan, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven at 300 degrees F until ready to serve.
  • Put the jalapenos and red onions in a 16-ounce wide-mouth mason jar.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
  • Pour the hot liquid over the veggies in the jar, screw on the lid and set aside. When it has cooled to room temperature, transfer the jar to the fridge to chill for a minimum of an hour, which will allow the vegetables to pickle. The pickles will last in the fridge for 3 days. Serve them on pulled pork sandwiches.

PRESSURE COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK



Pressure Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork image

A pressure cooker provides a nifty shortcut to perfect pulled pork. This recipe calls for braising the meat in a dark soda like Dr Pepper or Coca-Cola, and the results are lush and tender - savory, slightly sweet and tangy. Once the pork is done, you can customize it to your taste using your favorite barbecue and hot sauces. Adding lots of black pepper and a few dashes of Southern-style hot sauce, like Crystal, Louisiana or Tabasco, is a very good idea. Like many braises, the pork improves overnight and can be cooked up to three days in advance; shred and warm it gently on the stovetop before tossing it with sauce and serving. The pork makes satisfying sandwiches on soft rolls (try coleslaw as a topping), but it could also be used in tacos or served over grits. (You can find the slow-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons hot or sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3 to 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of skin and excess fat and cut into 4 large chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 (12-ounce) can dark soda, like Dr Pepper, root beer, cola or birch beer
1/2 to 1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the pork and turn to coat in the spice mix. Put the oil in a 6- or 8-quart electric pressure cooker and turn on the sauté setting to warm the oil. (Use the "normal" heat setting if your pressure cooker has that option.) Working in batches, add the pork and brown on two sides, about 2 minutes per side. If the bottom of the pan gets too dark or you get a "hot" or "burn" warning, turn the heat down to "less," if your pot has that option, or turn it off entirely and allow the pork to continue searing. Turn it back on if the pot cools too much.
  • Add the onion to the pot. Add the soda and stir to thoroughly scrape up the browned bits at the bottom of the pot. Close the lid and cook on high pressure for one hour. Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Open the lid. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the pork and onion bits to a large serving bowl. Using two forks, coarsely shred the meat. Add 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid to moisten. (Discard remaining cooking liquid.) Taste and add salt, pepper, hot sauce, and more barbecue sauce as you like. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right pork shoulder: Opt for a pork shoulder that has good marbling, as this will result in tender and flavorful pulled pork. A 3 to 4-pound pork shoulder is ideal for this recipe.
  • Seasoning the pork shoulder: Don't skimp on the seasonings! The combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper creates a delicious and flavorful rub for the pork. Make sure to coat the pork shoulder evenly with the rub.
  • Cooking the pork shoulder in the pressure cooker: Place the seasoned pork shoulder in the pressure cooker along with the pineapple juice, brown sugar, water, and diced pineapple. Set the pressure cooker to cook on high pressure for 75 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  • Shredding the pork shoulder: Once the pork shoulder is cooked, remove it from the pressure cooker and shred it with two forks. Discard any large pieces of fat.
  • Making the slider sauce: While the pork shoulder is cooking, prepare the slider sauce by combining ketchup, yellow mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
  • Assembling the sliders: To assemble the sliders, spoon some of the pulled pork onto slider buns and top it with the slider sauce. Add your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, pickles, or onions.

Conclusion:

This Pressure Cooker Tropical Pulled Pork Sliders recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. The pork shoulder is cooked in the pressure cooker until it is fall-apart tender, and the slider sauce is tangy and flavorful. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a delicious meal that will be a hit with everyone.
