Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to the sauté setting and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork cubes and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add the onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Return the pork to the pot and add the tomatoes, green chiles, and broth. Stir to combine and scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any stuck-on bits.
  4. Secure the lid and set the pressure release valve to the sealed position. Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 20 minutes. When the cooking time is up, carefully open the pressure release valve to release the steam.
  5. Carefully remove the lid and stir in the cilantro. Serve the Carne Adovado with warm tortillas or over rice.
