Equipment
Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons Pork rub mix our homemade rub or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup+ BBQ sauce

Instructions
- Make the pork rub mix or use your favorite store-bought brand or our no sugar pork rub recipe.
No Sugar Pork Rub
- In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 2 tablespoon fine sea salt, 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon golden erythritol or month fruit (optional). If you make the homemade rub, it's more than you need for this recipe and it can be stored for other uses.
Pulled Pork Instructions
- Preheat the Instant Pot to saute high and heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the pot.
- Cut the pork roast into 4 large pieces. If your meat is bone-in, the chinks won't be even and the bone will be attached to one of them. Sprinkle the pork with rub mix.
- Sear the pork roast pieces on each side for 3-4 minutes until brown. It'll be a snug fit in the pot, but all pork pieces will fit.
- Deglaze the pot: Press the cancel button to stop the pot from cooking. Remove the pork pieces and set them aside on a plate. Add the chicken broth to the pot and scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pot.
- Add the pork back to the Instant Pot and pour ½ cup+ of BBQ sauce over the top.
- Cook the meat for 60 minutes on manual high (some models call this pressure cook). Do a natural release for 10 minutes before releasing the remaining pressure in the pot.
- Let the pork cool down for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a large bowl. Add a little liquid from the pot, if desired, and shred the pulled pork with 2 forks.
- Make the ColeslawUse a store-bought mix or make our simple keto coleslaw without sugar.
Easy keto Coleslaw
- In a small bowl combine: 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoon monk fruit or erythritol, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, and ½ cup - ¾ cup mayo. Combine the dressing (to taste) with 1 bag of shredded coleslaw mix.
- To Serve: To each lettuce leaf add a little coleslaw, pulled pork, and more BBQ sauce if desired. Serve BBQ sauce on the side as well. Enjoy!
Notes
- To simplify the recipe you can use your favorite store-bought rub or packaged coleslaw mix with dressing. We've included our sugar-free pork rub and healthy coleslaw recipe links since they're low-carb recipes made without sugar.
- To make the pulled pork in a crockpot, brown the seasoned pork in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat seasoned with oil. Add the pork, chicken broth, and BBQ sauce to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours and low for 6-8 hours until the meat is falling apart. Then shred.
