Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Root Beer Pulled Pork Sloppy Joes.
Step 1
Cut the pork loin into 8 equal portions and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 2
Set your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function. Add the seasoned pork pieces and brown them for about 3 minutes on each side.
Step 3
Once browned, pour in 1/2 cup of root beer and cancel the 'Sauté' function.
Step 4
Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Select 'High Pressure' and set the timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.
Step 5
While the pork is cooking, in a large bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of root beer, ketchup, liquid smoke, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, grill seasoning, dry mustard, and browning sauce. Mix well and set aside.
Step 6
After the cooking time is complete, use the natural release method to release the pressure, which may take 10 to 40 minutes. Once safe, unlock and remove the lid.
Step 7
Take out the cooked pork and shred it using two forks. Mix the shredded pork with the prepared sauce until well coated.
Step 8
Serve the pulled pork on the toasted hamburger buns.
