- 2 pounds pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons Dry rub seasonings (or more to taste - I used a mixture of ancho powder cumin, Mexican oregano, paprika, cayenne and garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups of water (or use chicken stock or broth, or beer)
Pat dry your pork shoulder and cut it into four large chunks about a half pound each.
Rub them down with your seasonings.
Heat a cast iron pan to medium heat and add olive oil. Sear each side of the pork shoulder, about 5-6 minutes or so.
Set them into the pressure cooker and add water. Pressure cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Release steam.
Shred the tender shoulder with forks and serve.
