Ingredients

3 lb boneless pork shoulder roast trimmed & cut in half
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup finely chopped sweet onion
1 ½ cup teriyaki sauce
20 oz sliced pineapple juice reserved
3 TBSP all-purpose flour
8 hamburger buns split

Instructions

To cook in a Crockpot: In a large skillet, brown pork roast in oil over medium-high heat; place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the onion, 1 ½ cups teriyaki sauce and ½ cup reserved pineapple juice. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until meat is tender.
To cook in an Instant Pot: Push saute button and pour oil in pot. Brown roast on all sides in oil. Add in onion, 1 ½ cups teriyaki sauce and ¾ cup pineapple juice (or as much as you have from the can, then the rest in water.) Cancel the saute and put 1 hour 45 minutes on pressure cook with a slow release.
Once cooked, shred meat with two forks. Sprinkle with flour and stir. Replace the lid and let sit 10-15 minute, until thickened. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Toast buns. Place pineapple slices in a small bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Pork mixture should be thickened, so give it a stir, then spoon about ½ cup on each bun. Top with a slice of pineapple. Serve & enjoy!

Notes

Leftover pulled pork can be stored safely in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Place the shredded pork in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

For longer storage, freezing is a good option. You can freeze the cooked pork in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Label the package with the date to track storage time.
