Ingredients

  • 1 3-4 lb pork roast mine was bone-in pork shoulder
  • 1 cup broth
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 TBSP honey
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • Place roast in slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients in a 2-cup measuring cup. Whisk together and pour over roast. Cook on low 10-12 hours for that fall-apart, insanely tender type of meat. (Or on high 6-8 hours.)

    Place Pork Roast roast in Instant Pot. Combine remaining ingredients (except cornstarch) in a 2-cup measuring cup. Whisk together and pour over roast.
    Lock lid on and set Instant Pot to Manual High Pressure for 65 minutes (for a 2-lb Sirloin Tip Roast that was fall-apart tender. Add 10 minutes per additional pound of pork roast.)
    When timer beeps, let it Natural Pressure Release.
    Remove lid and ladle out about 1/4 cup of the juice and strain into a measuring cup.
    Whisk in 2 tsp cornstarch. Add in additional juice to make 1 cup.
    Microwave on high for 30 seconds and whisk again. Drizzle sauce over meat prior to serving.
