Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoons firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds boneless pork loin roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 8 Hawaiian bread rolls (such as King's®), split

Directions

Step 1
Whisk paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add pork and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 2
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), add oil, and select the Saut? function. Cook pork in batches until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3
Return all pork to the pot; pour in barbecue sauce and water. Close and lock the lid; select the Manual function and set the timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 4
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid; transfer pork to a separate plate.

Step 5
Select the Saut? function again; simmer sauce until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Step 6
While the sauce is simmering, shred pork with 2 two forks.

Step 7
Add pork back to the pot and mix to combine. Serve pork and sauce on rolls.
