Ingredients
- 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 vegetable oil
- 2 cups of water (or use chicken stock or broth, pineapple juice, or beer)
Instructions
- 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 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 naturally.
- Shred the tender shoulder with forks and serve as desired.
