Ingredients

  • A boneless pork shoulder blade roast weighing around 3 pounds
  • Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt to your liking
  • Utilize 2 tablespoons of canola oil for cooking
  • Enhance the flavor with a packet of taco seasoning mix, around 1 ounce
  • Incorporate 2 cups of chicken broth into the mix

Step 1

Prepare the pork by removing any excess fat and then dividing it into 4 equal portions. Sprinkle a dash of salt over each portion to enhance the flavor.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat up some canola oil over medium-high heat. Cook the pork in batches until a beautiful brown crust forms on each side, usually taking around 8 minutes for each batch. Once done, transfer the pork to a plate and generously coat it with flavorful taco seasoning.

Step 3

Next, set up your pressure cooker by pouring in some broth and placing a rack insert inside. Gently position the pork portions on the rack. Seal the pressure cooker with its lid and lock it securely. Let the pressure build up slowly over medium-low heat until the pork becomes tender and easily shreddable, which typically takes about 45 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for approximately 15 minutes.

Step 4

Once ready, use two forks to shred the succulent pork into delectable pieces, perfect for various dishes and meals.
