Instructions 

• In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne.
• Season the cubed pork with the spice mixture and set aside.
• In a medium bowl whisk together the apple cider vinegar, one cup of the barbecue sauce, the hot pepper sauce if using, and one cup of the broth.
• Turn your instant pot to the saute setting. Add the olive oil and allow it to get hot.
• Add half of the cubed pork to the hot oil and saute for 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove the browned pork to a plate and repeat with the remaining half of the cubed pork.
• Turn the instant pot off.  Use the remaining 1/4 cup of beef broth and a wooden spoon to deglaze (scrape the brown bits) from the bottom of the pot.
• Add all of the meat along with the barbecue sauce mixture to the instant pot.
• Close the lid and set to sealing.
• Cook on manual high pressure for 40 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release.
• Remove the meat from the instant pot and shred.  Stir in the remaining cup of bbq sauce and serve on buns as desired. Recipe and image from The Salty Marshmallow
