PRESSURE COOKER SPICY PORK SHOULDER



Pressure Cooker Spicy Pork Shoulder image

You can make this spicy pork in a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker if you're in a hurry, or in a slow cooker if you're not. In either case, you'll get tender bits of meat covered in a chile-flavored barbecue sauce that's just slightly sweet. (You can also make it in a stovetop pressure cooker, by trimming a few minutes off the cooking time. Stovetop pressure cookers tend to cook at a slightly higher pressure, so food cooks more quickly.) Gochujang, a pungent Korean chile paste, and gochugaru, Korean chile flakes, is available at Asian markets and specialty shops, or see the ingredient list for substitutions. Serve the pork over rice or in slider rolls, topped with crunchy pickled sesame cucumbers and a little kimchi, if you want to spice things up. And, while you can make this from start to finish in an afternoon, you can also make this in stages a few days ahead, if that's easier.

Time 3h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

5 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
1 tablespoon Korean chile flakes (gochugaru) or other chile flakes (Maras, Aleppo or crushed red pepper)
1 tablespoon kosher salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into two or three pieces
1 tablespoon peanut oil
4 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
1/3 cup gochujang (Korean chile paste) or other chile paste or sauce such as Sriracha
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
6 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (or about 4 cups sliced cucumbers)
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Cooked rice or toasted slider rolls
Kimchi (optional)

Steps:

  • To prepare pork, combine garlic, brown sugar, chile flakes, salt and pepper. Rub marinade all over pork. If you have time, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to up to 24 hours. Otherwise, proceed with recipe.
  • Set electric pressure cooker to sauté (or use a large skillet). Add pork in batches and sear until browned all over, about 2 minutes per side. Add 3/4 cup water to pot (or to skillet to deglaze, then move to pot), cover, and set to cook for 90 minutes on high pressure. Or cook in a slow cooker for 5 to 7 hours until tender.
  • While pork cooks, prepare sauce: In a small pot, warm peanut oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Set sauce aside. (It can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.)
  • Manually release steam. Let pork cool until you can handle it, then shred it into bite-size pieces. Pork can be made to this point up to 3 days ahead.
  • While pork cools, strain liquid from bottom of pot. Pour off fat (or chill liquid, then scoop off solidified fat with a spoon). Reserve.
  • Prepare cucumbers: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except sesame seeds, and let sit, tossing one or twice, for at least 20 minutes. Stir in sesame seeds.
  • When ready to serve, heat broiler. Toss pork with sauce and 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking liquid - just enough so pork is evenly coated but not wet or runny. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet, and broil until crisped on top, 2 to 3 minutes; it will char in places, and that's fine.
  • Serve pork over rice or on slider rolls, with cucumbers and kimchi, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork shoulder steaks: Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the steaks are tender and juicy after cooking.
  • Use a good quality gochujang paste: Gochujang is a fermented Korean chili paste that adds a spicy, savory flavor to the dish. Make sure to use a good quality gochujang paste that is made with real gochugaru (Korean chili powder).
  • Marinate the pork steaks for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful. You can marinate the steaks for up to overnight for even more flavor.
  • Cook the pork steaks over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Serve the pork steaks with your favorite sides: Some good options include rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Gochujang pork shoulder steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The gochujang marinade gives the steaks a spicy, savory flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the steaks with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
