Cook BBQ pulled pork in the Instant Pot, then shred it and load it onto Hawaiian rolls for a melt-in-your-mouth sandwich experience. This family-favorite recipe is easy and hassle-free.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1.5 teaspoons firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless pork loin roast , cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 Hawaiians bread rolls , such as King's®

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add pork and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), add oil, and select the Sauté function. Cook pork in batches until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Return all pork to the pot; pour in barbecue sauce and water. Close and lock the lid; select the Manual function and set the timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  4. 4

    Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid; transfer pork to a separate plate.

  5. 5

    Select the Sauté function again; simmer sauce until thickened, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    While the sauce is simmering, shred pork with 2 two forks.

  7. 7

    Add pork back to the pot and mix to combine. Serve pork and sauce on rolls.
