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 olive oil
  • 2 cups of water (or use chicken stock or broth, 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 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.
