PORK STEW INSTANT POT RECIPES

Steps:

• Press [Sauté] to pre-heat the cooker. When the word “Hot” appears on the display add oil to the cooking pot. Brown each half of the roast separately. Remove to a platter when browned.
• Turn pressure cooker off and add water and liquid smoke to the cooking pot. Add browned roasts and any accumulated juices to the pot. Sprinkle the salt over the top of the pork roasts.
• Press [Pressure Cook] and then use the [+] button to set 90 minutes of pressure cooking time. When beep sounds, use a natural release to release pressure (approximately 20 minutes). When valve drops, carefully remove lid.
• Remove the meat from the pressure cooker and shred with two forks, discarding excess fat as you shred. Add some of the juices from the pressure cooker to moisten the meat. (I used a fat separator to remove fat from the juices.)

Steps:

• Squeeze oranges and limes into a small bowl or measuring cup. Add additional orange juice (or water) to make 3/4 cup liquid, reserve rinds.
• In a medium bowl, combine the Rub Mixture ingredients, then add the pork pieces and coat thoroughly.
• Add oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
• When oil gets hot, brown the pork on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
• Add orange/lime juice to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add quartered onion to the pot and lay pork pieces on top of the onion. Place citrus rinds cut-side down on top of the pork. Drop in cinnamon sticks.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 60 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Carefully remove the pork from the pot to a parchment-lined baking sheet and shred. Pour 2/3 cup cooking juice over the meat.
• Set the pan under the broiler until tips of pork are browned and slightly crisp, 3-5 minutes.
• Serve warm on tortillas with your choice of toppings.
