- Add marinade to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add bay leaves, then toss to ensure everything is coated in the marinade.
- Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
- Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 60 minutes.
- When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
- Discard bay leaves. Carefully remove the meat from the pot to a cutting board and shred.
- (Optional) Skim fat off the top of the sauce using a large spoon or gravy separator.
- Return the meat to the pot, add salt and toss to coat.
