In a small bowl combine onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning over your pork and rub it in so it is covered.
Set your Instant Pot to SAUTE and add the olive oil.
Once hot add your pork shoulder and brown the pieces on all sides, approximately 2 minutes per side.
Remove the pork and set aside then add the broth and stir, making sure to scrape up all of the browned bits so you won’t get a burn notice later.
Press CANCEL on the Instant Pot and add the pork back to the pot along with the onion and garlic.
Lock the lid in place, move the valve to SEALING and set to cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 25 minutes. See Note #1
When the timer goes off press CANCEL and let the Instant Pot do a natural release for 15 minutes. Then flip the valve to VENTING and let the rest of the steam out.
Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Remove the pork from the Instant Pot and pour the remaining liquid through the strainer. Dispose of the solids in the strainer.
Use a spoon or a fat separator to remove the excess fat from the liquid.
Pour the liquid back into the pot and set it to SAUTE.
In a small bowl or cup add the flour and water and whisk together until it is smooth (this is called a slurry).
When the broth in the Instant Pot comes to a boil pour the slurry in , whisking the whole time, and then let cook for 2-3 minutes until it has thickened.
Turn off heat and slice or shred the pork and serve with gravy poured over it.

The general rule for cook time is 25 minutes per pound. Since we've cut our roast into 1 pound pieces we can cook them at the 1 pound time.
