Method

Step 1

Marinate the pork butt with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a frying pan and hard sear the butt from all sides.

Step 3

Place the pork butt in the braising pan and add all the remaining ingredients.

Step 4

Cover with tin foil. Braise in oven at 300 °F for 6 hours. Alternately, cook on high in Instant Pressure Cooker for 1 hour and allow natural release**. Cool it overnight in the liquid.

Step 5

Remove the pork butt from the liquid and shred.

Step 6

Strain the liquid and reduce to half. Incorporate back in pork as needed to keep it moist.
