For an even richer flavor, consider browning the pork tenderloin in the Instant Pot using the sauté function before adding the Dr Pepper mixture.
Adjust the amount of barbeque sauce to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet pulled pork, use a barbeque sauce with a lower sugar content.
Leftover pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Experiment with different types of coleslaw. A creamy coleslaw will add richness, while a vinegar-based coleslaw will provide a refreshing contrast.
