Instant Pot Pork Carnitas
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork shoulder blade steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup broth
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ⅛ cup lime juice
Instructions
- I used a 1.25 pound pork shoulder and trimmed down the fat so it was about a pound.
- Season both sides of the pork shoulder with the seasonings.
- Add the oil to your Instant Pot and turn it to the saute setting. When the oil heats up, add the pork to the pot and sear both sides for about two minutes.
- Turn the Instapot off.
- In the instapot, add the broth, orange juice and lime juice.
- Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the pressure cook button to 15 minutes and start it. (It will take about 15 minutes per pound to cook).
- Once completely cooked, let it set for 5-7 minutes. Then, vent and de-pressurize the instapot then open the lid.
- Remove the pork and place in a large bowl. Shred with a hand mixer or two forks.
- Store the pork with the liquids for a juicer meat.
