 Calling all sandwich lovers! Today, we're taking the classic pulled pork sandwich to a whole new level of flavor with the help of your trusty Instant Pot. This recipe features a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce that infuses the tender pork with deliciousness in no time.

Instant Pot Advantage:



The Instant Pot is a game-changer for busy cooks. It allows you to achieve fall-off-the-bone pulled pork in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. Plus, the pressure cooker helps lock in all the juices, resulting in incredibly flavorful and moist meat.

Honey Mustard Harmony:

The honey mustard sauce is the star of the show. The perfect balance of sweet honey and tangy mustard creates a flavor profile that complements the richness of the pork beautifully. It's a flavor combination that's sure to tantalize your taste buds.



Building the Perfect Bite:

Now, let's talk about the sandwich itself. Pile that juicy pulled pork onto your favorite toasted buns. Add a creamy slaw for a touch of coolness and crunch. Don't forget a drizzle of extra honey mustard sauce for good measure.

Recipe:

Here's what you'll need to create these mouthwatering Honey Mustard Pulled Pork Sandwiches:

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless pork shoulder (butt roast)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Hamburger buns
  • Coleslaw (optional)
  • Extra honey mustard sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Add the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to the inner pot of your Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
  2. Season the pork shoulder generously with salt and pepper. Place it in the Instant Pot on top of the liquid mixture.
  3. Close the lid and seal the pressure valve. Cook on high pressure for 70 minutes.
  4. Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure manually.
  5. Remove the pork from the Instant Pot and shred it with two forks. Discard any excess fat.
  6. Return the shredded pork to the pot with the remaining cooking liquid. Stir to coat the pork in the sauce.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Toast your hamburger buns. Pile the pulled pork onto the buns and top with coleslaw and extra honey mustard sauce (if desired).



Tips:

  • For a thicker sauce, remove some of the shredded pork and set it aside. Bring the remaining sauce in the Instant Pot to a boil and simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Then, stir the shredded pork back in.
  • Leftover pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.

The Takeaway:


This Instant Pot Honey Mustard Pulled Pork Sandwich recipe is a flavor explosion waiting to happen. It's the perfect combination of easy, delicious, and satisfying. So, fire up your Instant Pot, whip up this recipe, and prepare to be amazed!
