Instant Pot Bbq Pork Steaks Recipes

PRESSURE COOKER PORK STEAKS, ST. LOUIS BBQ STYLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the pork steaks evenly with the fine sea salt and the barbecue rub.
• Pour 1 cup of water into the pressure cooker pot, add the pork steaks in a loose pile, and then drizzle ½ cup of barbecue sauce over the pork steaks. (Don't stir - we want the sweet barbecue sauce to float on top of the water to keep it from burning.)
• Lock the lid on the pressure cooker. Cook at high pressure for 45 minutes in an electric pressure cooker ("manual" or "pressure cook" mode in an Instant Pot), or for 40 minutes in a stovetop pressure cooker. Let the pressure release naturally, about 15 more minutes.
• Carefully remove the pork steaks from the pressure cooker; they're fall-apart tender. Measure out ½ cup of the pot liquid, and stir in ½ cup of barbecue sauce. (If you have one, use a fat separator to defat the pot liquid first). Brush the pork steaks with this sauce. Optional: broil the pork steaks until the sauce is bubbling and browning at the edges, then brush with another layer of the sauce. (Broilers vary a lot, so keep an eye on them - it takes about 5 minutes for my broiler to brown the steaks.) Serve, passing the rest of the sauce for dipping.

INSTANT POT BARBECUE PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine paprika, mustard powder, cumin, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork.
• Turn the Instant Pot® (see Cook's Note) to the high saute setting. Add the oil and once hot, add the pork and cook in two batches, turning, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Switch the Instant Pot® to the warm setting, remove the pork and transfer to a plate.
• Whisk 3/4 cup water into the drippings in the Instant Pot®. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 cups water and whisk to combine. Add the pork back. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 hour.
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid and transfer the pork to a large bowl.
• Switch the Instant Pot® to the normal saute setting and simmer the juices until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. While the juices are reducing use a ladle to remove any fat that rises to the top. Season to taste with salt.
• Meanwhile, use 2 forks to shred the pork in to small chunks.
• Add 3 cups of the reduced cooking liquid to the chunked pork and season with salt and vinegar to taste. Serve in hamburger buns with barbecue sauce and coleslaw.

INSTANT POT BBQ PORK STEAKS

Steps:

• First, place your trivet inside of your Instant Pot.
• Then pour your 1 cup of chicken stock in.
• Then add any seasoning you want to your Pork Steaks and layer them on top of the trivet.
• Next, drizzle your ½ cup of BBQ Sauce on top of your pork steaks. Make sure the bbq sauce stays on the top of your pork steaks and does not get under the trivet mixed in your chicken stock.
• Close the lid and turn the steam release valve to the "sealing" position.
• Press the "Pressure Cook" button. Next, press the "Pressure Level" button until you have selected "High Pressure".
• Turn the timer on for 15 minutes. Once pressure builds up, the timer will start counting down.
• After the timer has completed do not turn the steam release valve. Let the Instant Pot do a natural release of steam. It will take about 20 minutes. Once all the steam has naturally released you can open your Instant Pot and serve.
• Now you can eat your bbq pork steaks just as they are. Or, you can take some additional bbq sauce and mix it with some of the juices at the bottom of your instant pot to put on top of your pork steaks. We don't really like a ton of bbq sauce so we ate our steaks without any added sauce just as the came out of the Instant Pot.
