This dish is enhanced with oyster sauce, giving it lovely Asian flavors. Serve with your choice of sides (like rice or cauli-rice), although these are not included in the macros.

Chef Tips:

Be very careful opening the pressure cooker after cooking. It needs to cool a little before safely decompressing.
Keep the seeds in your chili if you like spicy food!
Tamari is a gluten-free soy sauce. If you cannot source it and prefer to steer clear of soy sauce, coconut aminos is a great alternative.

Ingredients

18 oz pork fillet tenderloin (we use Butcher Box meat)
12 oz mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
1 red chili, finely chopped
1 thumb-sized piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
¼ cup oyster sauce
2 TB tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cooked rice or cauli-rice, to serve
Lime wedges, to serve

Instructions

Place the pork, mushrooms, bell pepper, chili, ginger, oyster sauce, and tamari in a pressure cooker. Combine well and secure the lid.
Cook for 30 minutes, keeping the heat on between medium-high and high, monitoring the pressure cooker to remain stable.
Afterward, allow the pressure cooker to cool a little and safely decompress, then remove the lid.
Use tongs to remove only pork from the mixture and place it into a bowl. Return the cooker to low heat to keep the saucy vegetables warm.
Using two forks, shred the pork into thin strips to resemble pulled pork. Season with a little salt and pepper, and return all the meat back to the cooker pan. If there is still a lot of moisture in the pan, cook it over a gentle heat for several minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens to coat the pork.
Serve with cooked rice (if you like) and lime wedges to squeeze over.
