Instant Pot Pepperoncini Pork Roast Recipe
This Instant Pot pepperoncini pork roast is a crowd pleaser with so much flavor with just five ingredients for deliciously tender pork.
Serving8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pork shoulder roast, (3-4 pound)
- 16 ounces pepperoncini peppers, 1 jar, undrained
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Equipment
Instructions
- Place pork roast in the Instant Pot. Pour entire jar of pepperoncini peppers and juice on top of roast.
- Add in chicken broth.
- Sprinkle top of roast with dry ranch dressing mix and ground black pepper.
- Put your lid on the pot and put the VALVE on sealing (not venting). Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 60 minutes (or 20-25 minutes per pound of your roast).
- When timer is finished, let pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (it will take at least 20 minutes - I prefer to let it sit in my Instant Pot on the "keep warm" setting for a couple of hours and it will literally fall apart).
- Shred or slice roast (it should fall apart pretty easily) and serve.
- This is delicious served on top of buns as sandwiches, on top of salads, or even eaten as is with a side of mashed potatoes. It's super versatile.
Notes
To turn into a freezer meal, add all ingredients EXCEPT chicken broth to a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 60 days. When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 3/4 cup chicken broth in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 90 minutes (or 30-35 minutes per pound of your roast). Do a NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done – I even like to let it sit in the Instant Pot for a few hours so that it falls apart so easily. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
