    Pork shoulder roast: is what I used to make this recipe. Different cuts of pork such as pork loin roast or pork butt roast (also known as boston butt) can be also be used.

    Salt, black pepper, onion powder, and minced garlic: to season the roast.

    Olive oil: used to sear the pork cubes in the instant pot before pressure cooking.

    Caldo de Pollo granulated bouillon: this is made by Knorr and is an instant chicken broth powder.

    Soy sauce: added for flavor

    Potatoes: you can use russet potatoes or gold potatoes, or baby potatoes. If you use baby potatoes you shouldn't need to cube them.

    Baby carrots: if using regular carrots, peel and cut into 2 inch pieces.

    Butter: added for flavor.

    Cornstarch: to thicken the gravy

    Parsley: (optional) for garnish

    6. Using a sharp knife on a cutting board, cube the seared pork and potatoes. Add to the instant pot with the baby carrots. Add soy sauce and any juices from the meat that on the resting plate.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute balsamic vinegar for the soy sauce

      Wow! I had no idea that you could set the instant pot for such a short time and still end up with thoroughly cooked roast! I always set mine for like 45-60 min... Good to know! Thank you! I am going to check out more of your instant pot recipes, who knows how much time I'll save myself! :⁠-⁠)
