I've also used all lemon juice in place of lime+orange juice and it was good

Instant Pot Carnitas
Ingredients
  • 4-5lb boneless pork roast, cut into large 4" chunks
  • salt and black pepper
  • 1 tbs oil
  • Sauce
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tbs ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Asian sauce alternative
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • accent
  • green onions or sesame seeds for garnish
  • chili garlic sauce to top
Directions
  1. Mix sauce ingredients until combined. Set aside until ready to use.
  2. Season pork chunks on all sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Brown pork in oil using sauté setting on the Instant Pot.
  4. Pour in sauce, and toss briefly to combine with all the pork.
  5. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, followed by a natural release (about 15 minutes).
  6. Set the oven broiler to high heat.
  7. Remove the lid of the Instant Pot. Shred the pork with two forks. Then transfer it with a slotted spoon to a large baking sheet. Spoon about a third of the leftover juices evenly on top of the pork and toss to combine. Broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges of the pork begin browning and crisping up. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, then half of the remaining juices from the Instant Pot evenly over the pork and toss to combine. Broil for an additional 5 minutes to get the meat even more crispy. Remove baking sheet from the oven, then ladle the remaining juices over the pork, and toss to combine.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, then serve warm in tacos, burritos, salads, or whatever sounds good to you! Or, refrigerate pork in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
