While visiting my sister, she made pulled pork in her pressure cooker using nothing but a bottle of Dr. Pepper soft drink. I was really surprised at the wonderful sweet-spicy flavor that it created. 

I decided to use the same concept of using a soft drink, but bu the only thing I had on hand was ginger beer. And it really turned out flavorful.

Ginger Beer Pulled Pork Ingredients

  • Pork Shoulder – Other names for pork shoulder are pork butt or Boston butt.
  • Ginger Beer – You can buy ginger beer in most grocery stores.
  • Brown Sugar – I use light brown sugar for this recipe.
  • Dry Mustard – Find this in the spice section of the grocery store.
  • Paprika
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Black Pepper

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ginger beer a type of beer?

Ginger beer is a non-alcoholic carbonated soda product. It is not beer or any type of beer.

Why is it called beer?

Ginger beer originates from Jamaica and although it’s not alcoholic, it’s made through a fermentation process.

What’s the difference between ginger beer and ginger ale?

Ginger ale is actually just ginger-flavored water, while ginger beer is brewed and fermented. I find that ginger beer has a super robust, spicy flavor that is a bit sweet at the same time. Ginger ale, for me, is smoother and much sweeter. 

Is an Instant Pot the same as a pressure cooker?

Yes, an Instant Pot is a brand of pressure cooker. I have an Instant Pot pressure cooker and a “Mealthy” brand pressure cooker.

Author: Laura Franco

Ingredients 

  • 2.25 lbs. pork shoulder
  • 1-1/2 cups ginger beer
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat pressure cooker on Saute for 3-5 minutes.
  • Cut the pork shoulder into 6-8 pieces.
  • When the Saute function is hot, add the olive oil to the inner pot of the pressure cooker.
  • Sear each piece of the pork shoulder on all sides until it’s very brown. You are looking for a deep sear which will add to the flavor. Each side can take up to 5 minutes and you may need to work in batches.
  • Once the pork is seared, add all of the pieces to the pressure cooker.
  • Mix all of the other ingredients into a small bowl and pour them over the pork in the pressure cooker.
  • Set the pressure cooker on high and cook for 50 minutes.
  • Let it self release once the cooking time is over.
  • Remove the pork pieces from the pressure cooker and shred each of the big pieces using two forks.

Notes

Serve on buns or in soft tortilla shells. 
This pulled pork is also great on nachos.
