Best Logans Smoked Boston Butt Kalua Recipes

3-INGREDIENT KALUA PORK (INSTANT POT OR OVEN)

Steps:

• Cut the pork butt into 3 pieces:
• Press the "saute" button on the Instant Pot. When the pot is hot, add a little oil and brown the pork pieces on all sides. Remove pork onto a plate and turn off the Instant Pot.
• Add the water to the Instant Pot. Stir to scrape up all the brown bits (that's the good stuff!) on the bottom of the pot.
• Add the liquid smoke and sea salt, and stir to mix.
• Place the pork pieces back into the Instant Pot. Cover and select the 'High-Pressure." Cook for 90 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally. This is what the Kalua Pork looks like right after it's finished cooking:
• Remove the pork to a bowl. Pour the remaining pork drippings/juice into another bowl.
• Shred the pork, and add back as much juice as you'd like to keep it moist and tender. Traditional way is to shred the Kalua Pork super find, but people like to keep chunkier pieces of pork. Either way is delicious.
• Serve hot! With a bowl of rice ^_^
