Step-by-step

  • Rub the pork pieces with salt and pepper.
  • Select Saute and add the avocado oil to the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
  • Once the Instant pot is hot, sear pork pieces on all sides until browned for about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • In a large bowl combine salsa verde and chicken broth and stir.
  • Pour the salsa with chicken broth over the pork in the Instant Pot.
  • Close and lock the lid. Turn the pressure release handle to Sealing.
  • Select Pressure Cook (Manual) on High Pressure and set the timer for 55 minutes using the + or - buttons.
  • The Instant pot will take awhile to start, then it will beep, and a countdown will begin.
  • Once cooking time is complete, let the pressure Naturally Release for 10 minutes (just let the pot sit for 10 minutes) and then Quick Release the remaining pressure (carefully use a wooden spoon to press the release handle to "Vent" while keeping your hands and face away from the steam).
  • Once all pressure is released, remove the lid.
  • Remove the pork from Instant Pot, place on a platter and shred the pork pieces with two forks (the meat should fall apart very easily).
  • Add the shredded pork back to the sauce in the Instant Pot, stir to combine and serve.
